Summary
Ian Dobbie is a research professor and director of the Integrated Imaging Center at Johns Hopkins with over 15 years’ expertise in advanced fluorescence and super-resolution microscopy. He has a strong track record of combining commercial systems with custom-built instruments to solve specific experimental challenges, spanning confocal, FRAP/FLIP, FLIM, FCS and structured illumination as well as PALM/STORM. Previously he managed and expanded the Micron imaging facility at the University of Oxford after a decade of postdoctoral research in leading European labs, bringing practical facility leadership to academic imaging. Trained as a physicist with a PhD in biophysics, he blends deep optics and instrument-building skills with hands-on microscopy application in biological research. Less obvious: he routinely bridges the gap between large-scale facility strategy and bench-level experimental design, enabling both high-throughput access and bespoke imaging solutions.
