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. 

Currently, I am the Biomedical Imaging and X-ray Histology lead at the μ-VIS X-ray Imaging Centre www.muvis.org and I run the 3D X-ray Histology (XRH) facility www.xrayhistology.org at the University Hospital Southampton.

I hold a Senior Research Fellow post at the University of Southampton and I am coordinating the centre's biomedical imaging projects. I take a particular interest in μCT imaging for histology applications and since 2015 I have closely collaborated with colleagues from the Biomedical Imaging Unit at the University Hospital Southampton to advance this field.

Throughout my career, I have developed imaging and visualisation protocols 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.

Excited to announce the publication of our latest article:
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
