The UBC Bioimaging Facility (BIF) is the most comprehensive bioimaging facility in Western Canada and unique to BC and offers a combination of three things that no other North American facility does: (1) a complete management structure including an advisory committee, an academic director, a research manager and highly trained technical staff, (2) a comprehensive light microscopy unit with tissue culture, confocal and multi-photon imaging and image processing and analysis, and (3) a biological electron microscopy unit including a partnership with Leica Microsystems. BIF is administered by the Department of Botany and its personnel comprise an Academic Director (Tier 1 CRC Geoffrey Wasteneys), a Research Manager (Garnet Martens), and three technicians (EM specialists Derrick Horne and Bradford Ross and light microscopy specialist Kevin Hodgson).
