October 22-26, 2018, Instituto de Medicina Molecular - João Lobo Antunes (Lisbon, Portugal)

The second edition of the Workshop on High-Resolution Light Microscopy will cover recent advances in fluorescence microscopy, enabling measurement and computational analysis of a wide range of cellular activities. It consists of both lectures and hands-on sessions, giving the necessary theoretical background and practical insight into the application fluorescence microscopy to study cell migration and cellular processes at high spatial and temporal resolution. 

The main topics that will be covered are:

• Principles of microscopy;
• Fluorescent probes;
• Live imaging;
• FRAP, FRET and photo-activation;
• Image processing and analysis.

Target audience

15 participants from iMM, Institut Curie, DKFZ will be selected to attend this Workshop. A selection committee will be responsible for selecting the participants. This imaging workshop is aimed at Master and PhD students, post-doctoral fellows and senior faculty members either with or without previous working experience in using light microscopy.
