Our mission is to provide high quality EM solutions for biomedical researchers in the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University Health System, National University of Singapore, and the scientific community.<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Staff in the EM Unit conduct in-house training in EM usage, and ensure that equipment are in working condition, and the laboratory is a safe and comfortable place to work in. We also provide ultramicrotomy service, and test out new sample preparation techniques to facilitate visualization using the different microscopes.<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Besides providing facilities, the Unit also engages in collaborative research projects. Examples of some collaborations partners include AVA, SERI, EHI, SGH, TTSH, NIE. Electron Microscopy Unit has also co-organized many scientific seminars and workshops with vendors to introduce new equipment and technology.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block-editor\">\n <div class=\"container nus-contaiter\">\n <h3>Our History<\/h3>\n \n <p><span lang=\"EN-US\">The Electron Microscopy Unit has come a long way to be what it is now. It is set up in 1971, under the management of the Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine. Mr. Chan Heng Leong is the pioneer in building up the laboratory and establishing the techniques.<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">The very first microscope to serve the users was a Hitachi HS-8 and since then, a lot of upgrading and reviewing are being done to ensure the high quality service of the unit. When the Unit was first started, it was under the supervision of a EM Committee, consisting of six members and a Chairperson from the different major departments in the Faculty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">The members are Professor Leong Seng Kee (Anatomy), Professor Chan Soh Ha (Microbiology), Professor Lee Yoke Sun (Pathology), Professor Raja Sinniah (Pathology), Professor Ling Eng Ang (Anatomy) and Associate Professor Mary Ng Mah Lee (Microbiology), with Professor Lee Eng Hin (Orthopaedic Surgery) chairing the committee.<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">In 1994, Associate Professor Mary Ng was appointed as the Director of the Unit and the EM Committee now acts mainly in the advisory capacity for the purchase of new equipment.<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">In 2015, the EM Unit relocated from MD5 to Tahir Foundation Building, 12 Science Drive 2. Associate Professor Wei-Yi Ong was appointed as the Director of the Unit, after Professor Mary Ng\u2019s semi-retirement.<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">In 2021, Professor Wei-Yi Ong stepped down as the Director and is succeeded by Assistant Professor Benoit Malleret.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-2-colum
