It’s been a year full of large and small projects to promote interfaculty collaborative research and interdisciplinary careers in cell dynamics and imaging. As every year, our annual newsletter highlights some of our network activities.

In what has become something of a tradition, we have adorned a Christmas tree bauble with an image from recent biomedical research. This year, shimmering in silver and gold, it depicts nerve fibres in the brain of a mouse that have been visualised using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. We hope you enjoy our Christmas decorations and find the science behind them fascinating!
