Stephen conducted postdoctoral research at the California Institute of Technology working with Dr. Grant Jensen, a pioneer in the development and application of cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET). During this time, Stephen developed cryogenic correlated light electron microscopy (cryo-CLEM) techniques to target and characterize novel specialized compartments such as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) tubules and ribosome-associated vesicles (RAVs). Currently, Stephen is pursuing biological projects that require the latest developments in cryo-ET, focused on fostering a deeply collaborative approach to science. The Carter lab is advancing cryo-ET technologies, with research interests that include novel labeling approaches in cryo-CLEM, innovative methods for visualizing organelles in mammalian cells, and new strategies for interpreting visual proteomic data. Stephen works closely with colleagues at the Scottish Centre for Macromolecular Imaging (SCMI), which is equipped for cryo-ET sample preparation and data collection, housing sophisticated instruments like the JEOL CRYO-ARM 300 configured for high-resolution cryo-ET and cryo-CLEM workflows.
