Personal Statement
Dr Rooney is a visiting researcher and adjunct lecturer at the Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences.
He is a Fellow in Bacteriology at the School of Infection & Immunity focussing on the development and application of advanced optical imaging methods to infection biology. His lab focuses on understanding the spatial dynamics of infection across scales, using advanced imaging methods to tackle complex issues spanning infection biology, antimicrobial resistance, host-pathogen interactions, and image-based diagnostics.
Aside from his research in microbiology, Dr Rooney also maintains a track record in the development of optical microscopes, 3D printing and additive manufacture, and Open Microscopy initiatives.
