Dr. Martyn Reynolds joined us in November 2000. He had seen the job vacancy on this web site and in a moment of madness decided to apply. Martyn did his first degree in physics, and then obtained a Ph.D. with Prof. Peter McNaughton on calcium conductance regulation in photoreceptors, followed by postdoctoral research on calcium regulation in a number of other unsuspecting tissues. This background, together with his strong interest in the technical aspects of research, made him uniquely well qualified for the position, leaving us with no plausible excuse to turn him away.

In 2008 Martyn's commute from London became insufficiently challenging, so he relocated to Glasgow. It quickly became evident that he was better placed to serve our customer base in Scotland and the North of England than those of us in Kent, so he now has the main responsibility for technical and sales support for this area. It has however proved impossible to keep him away from product development, and he retains his role as Product manager for our Image splitter range as well as directly assisting other product development through his strong links with collaborators in Scottish Universities.

If you are looking for practical advice on anything from fluorescence measurements with electrophysiology through to confocal imaging, then Martyn is a good source of information. If you are looking to purchase such a system, then he would be more than happy to help you spend your hard earned funding wisely!
