Membrane Imaging: Structure And Dynamics In Cells And Models
An interdisciplinary workshop on imaging of membrane systems. Lipid bilayer membranes constitute the essential physical barrier that separates cells from their surroundings and defines the internal organelles. Understanding structure formation in membranes at the nanometer scale as well as dynamics related to membrane conformation, transport and signaling are key topics. The interaction between the lipid component of membranes and embedded, peripheral or soluble proteins is often at the center of these studies. Recent technical developments in the imaging of membrane structure…

Conference Overview Discovery in the life-sciences increasingly relies on quantitative analysis of microscopy images. The EMBL Conference: From Images to Knowledge with ImageJ & Friends (I2K) will bring together the developers and users of state-of-the-art open source solutions for biological image analysis. It will be a forum for discussing forward looking strategies for dealing with the ever increasing flood of large and content rich microscopy imagery. The conference is designed to promote interactive discussions between users and developers of bioimage…

Since RFI (VR's Råd för forskningens infrastrukturer) published last Monday (15 Oct.) its Guide to the Research Infrastructure, it is now clear that Swedish membership in Euro-Bioimaging is included among the areas eligible for application in next year's RFI call (15 Jan. - 19 Febr.). Euro-Bioimaging is a large-scale pan-European research infrastructure consortium (ERIC) for biological and medical imaging, providing access, service and training to state-of-the-art imaging technologies. We would like to make Swedish researchers more aware of the possibilities…

Quantitative BioImaging Society meeting 2019
The 2019 Quantitative BioImaging Conference will be held January 9-11 at the Le Couvent des Jacobins in Rennes, France. Abstract submission for the conference is now open. Click here to submit an abstract. The idea for a conference on Quantitative BioImaging followed from the recognition that there is no conference to date that addresses, in a focused and interdisciplinary manner, the analysis of bioimaging data. The 2019 QBI Conference in Rennes is held by the Quantitative BioImaging Society in partnership with the France…

Course introduction Bioimaging plays an important role in modern biosciences not only as a tool for research but also as a means to improve medical treatments. The main objective of this course is to provide the theoretical basis of bioimaging together with some “hands on” laboratory practice. The goal of the course is to teach the students general principles of fluorescence and light microscopy as well as to demonstrate principles behind advanced fluorescence and imaging techniques as well as a…

Find out more »Basic course resin embedding and ultrathin sectioning, Utrecht
The 3 day workshop organized in collaboration with Leica Microsystems is meant for people that do not have experience with standard preparation techniques for transmission electron microscopy. This workshop is primarily practical in nature, although some topics will be dealt with in lectures. The entire procedure from (live) specimen till stained ultrathin resin section will be covered from start to finish. If you participate most of the time will be spent in the lab working with standard specimens like cultured…

The 4 day workshop is organized in collaboration with Leica Microsystems and is meant for people that do not have experience with the Tokuyasu technique. Experience in resin sectioning is not necessary, but is definitely an advantage. The workshop is primarily practical in nature, although some topics will be dealt with in lectures. The entire procedure from (live) specimen till immuno-labeled ultrathin section will be covered from start to finish. Most of the time will be spent in the lab…
