Welcome to my personal webpage! I am Dr. Orestis Katsamenis, a materials scientist by training with a PhD in bioengineering and over 15 years of experience in biomedical imaging research. I am specialising in X-ray computed microtomography (μCT) with a particular focus on histology and clinical applications.
Currently, I hold a lectureship in Biomedical Imaging at the University of Southampton, UK, within the Bioengineering group; a position jointly funded by the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine. I am the Biomedical Imaging and X-ray Histology lead at the μ-VIS X-ray Imaging Centre www.muvis.org , overseeing the X-ray Histology facility xrayhistology.org and I hold a visiting X-ray Histology Scientist position with the UHS NHS Foundation Trust, within the Biomedical Imaging Unit in Cellular Pathology and Child Health.
Throughout my career, I have developed imaging and visualisation technologies for a range of biological- and biomedical-relevant specimens using X-ray CT imaging approaches. My work includes non-destructive / non-disruptive μCT imaging of conventionally prepared histological specimens for 3D X-ray Histology, volumetric imaging of soft and hard tissues as well as time-resolved imaging and analysis methods for pharmaceutical research applications.
I obtained my BSc and MSc degrees from the University of Patras, Hellas, focusing on the preparation and characterisation of calcium phosphate bone cements and the mechanical and physicochemical characterisation of degenerated human menisci, respectively. In 2012, I was awarded the EPSRC's Doctoral Prize Award for my research project on osteopontin adhesion properties on biomedical relevant surfaces, and soon after I joined the μ-VIS centre.

A high-throughput 3D X-ray histology facility for biomedical research and preclinical applications.
We have built a unique facility at the University Hospital Southampton specifically for 3D X-ray Histology (XRH). This article is our roadmap to building your own XRH facility. We share insights on:
➡️ Facility setup & operation
➡️ User support & training
➡️ Data generation, analysis, and archiving
Have a look and let's discuss how the technology can transform your research: https://doi.org/10.12688/wellcomeopenres.19666.2

3D-printed medicines for personalised clinical research
A new NIHR-funded 3D printing platform at University Hospital Southampton is enabling research into personalised oral medicines. Led by Dr Andy Fox and Dr Orestis Katsamenis, the system produces tailored “printlets” customisable in dose, shape, texture, and flavour.
This research initiative focuses on:
➡️ Platform setup in the hospital pharmacy
➡️ Custom printlets for paediatrics and the elderly
➡️ Clinical trials to improve adherence and safety
➡️ Integration with NIHR BRC and Institute for Life Sciences
