Advanced Electron Microscopy for Cell Biology by EMBO
In-Person Event
Jun 12 - 22, 2018
Wurzburg, Bavaria, DE
OVERVIEW
Advanced Electron Microscopy for Cell Biology is organized by European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) and will be held during Jun 12 - 22, 2018 at University of Wurzburg Biocenter, Wurzburg, Bavaria, Germany.
Modern EM allows structure-function analysis by combining multidisciplinary approaches with physiological, genetic and biochemical data. Current advances in EM are wide-ranging and focus on improving resolution, efficient 3D imaging, molecular mapping, correlative imaging, and quantitation. Together they combine to make this approach amongst the most popular in biology. This EMBO Practical Course will provide the students with competence in a wide range of techniques, and then learn how to integrate these effectively with other approaches in cell biology. Moreover, this EMBO Practical Course offers the opportunity to acquire a portfolio of cutting-edge EM methods, allowing the participants to integrate EM tools and readouts into the workflow of their own cell biological research projects.
Modules/Resources :
• State of the art fixation including cryo-methods
• Correlative light and electron microscopy
• Molecular mapping (immuno-EM)
• Three-dimensional EM imaging using tomography and serial imaging
• Advanced quantitative image analysis (stereology, nanomorphomics)
Learning Outcomes :
You will gain an intensive overview of the most advanced methods in electron microscopy for cell biology. Will provide training in project/experimental design, often adapted to each of the student's projects. Moreover, the course has been running for over 30 years and has contributed to the creation of a wide community of electron microscopists (both students and teachers) all over the world.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
