Lachlan has been a bioimage analyst at WEHI for over a decade, and now runs the Bioimage Analysis Core in the Center for Dynamic Imaging. Graduating in 2011 with a PhD in Physics (X-ray diffractive imaging), he now somehow finds himself in a biomedical resarch institute. Alongside image anlaysis, he has produced several 3d-rendered graphical abstracts for high-impact journal publications, and post extremely niche humours animations under the hashtag #microscopistsNightmares. He was a founding member of AusBIAS.
