Dr Nana-Jane Chipampe

Histopathology and Imaging Specialist

Dr Nana-Jane Chipampe is a Histopathology and Imaging Specialist, Chartered Scientist, and Fellow of the Institute of Biomedical Sciences. She applies Histopathology, Spatial Genomics, and immuno-oncology multiplex microscopy to human and non-human tissues. With expertise in tissue examination and microscopy, she analyses samples for abnormalities, prepares and stains tissue, and captures high-resolution images to study cellular and molecular features. During her postdoc, Nana-Jane led the installation, optimisation, and validation of the RareCyte Orion multiplex immunofluorescence microscope, now supporting researchers across campus. In her current role, she provides expertise across light, fluorescence, confocal, and multiplex imaging systems, supports researchers with sample preparation, manages advanced imaging technologies, and delivers microscopy training. She is particularly motivated by emerging AI and Spatial Transcriptomic tools and their potential to advance future biological research, diagnosis, development, and disease understanding.

Postdoc Rep Committee

Nana-Jane is on the Postdoctoral Committee which organises networking, social, retreats & events bringing Postdocs together and provides a representative voice for the wider Postdoc community across the Wellcome Genome Campus.
