Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven West is a Head of Histology with 11 years' experience building end-to-end histological and image-analysis platforms for whole central nervous system reconstruction. He designs and runs advanced tissue clearing, immunofluorescence and confocal workflows and leads large-scale histochemical programs for the International Brain Laboratory. Combining wet-lab expertise with software development, he created StereoMate—an open-source ImageJ plugin suite for automated stereological and 3D object analysis—to quantify complex neuroanatomical datasets. His work includes registering brains to the Allen CCF and developing tools for image registration, segmentation and validation at scale. Trained as a neuroanatomist (DPhil, Oxford) and experienced in training researchers, he bridges neuroscience, histology and computational image processing to enable reproducible, quantitative investigations of CNS structure. Colleagues describe him as a practical innovator who turns challenging biological problems into robust, shareable experimental and software solutions.
