| Description | I have created a microtubule imaging probe which allows us to take very clear fixed and live images of microtubules. This probe looks as good if not better than widely used existing probes. |
| Exploitation Route | The developed probe can be used in any biological experiment requiring the visualisation of microtubules. This is useful in understanding their behaviour and interactions within a cell. The fact that the probe works in multiple experimental systems and organisms means that it can a 'one stop shop' for imaging microtubules, rather than use multiple probes. |
