Christopher Tynan

Senior Link Scientist

Chris is a Senior Link Scientist at Octopus. Since 2022, he has been in charge of the CLF’s new Abberior-Instruments MINFLUX system, the only commercial MINFLUX system currently in the UK.
Chris has 15 years of experience implementing and utilising a range of fluorescence imaging techniques and applying them to an equally eclectic set of research projects. In his time at the Octopus facility, he has worked on time resolved confocal-FLIM, FRET, multi-colour single molecule tracking, gSTED and localisation microscopy.

Chris’ research interests include the application of single molecule tracking and super-resolution imaging to study cellular processes in three-dimensions, particularly signal transduction by the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor.
