Super Resolution Microscopy Workshop Theory and Practice

The Center for Integrative Infectious Disease Research (CIID) at Heidelberg University Hospital will host a Workshop on Super Resolution Microscopy on 10.- 12. April 2024.

This workshop is organised by DZIF Infectious Diseases Imaging Platform and aims at PhD students/postdocs who are interested in learning about the basics of super resolution microscopy and its applications in life sciences with the focus on host-pathogen interactions.

The workshop will cover theoretical lectures on super resolution microscopy techniques, including sample preparation and labeling, imaging, image processing and analysis. In addition, there will be practical, hands-on sessions where participants will have the opportunity to use cutting-edge equipment and software to gain experience in image acquisition and analysis. There will be a limited opportunity to examine own biological samples.

The course will be 2.5 days long. Due to a practical component it is limited to 6 participants (participation in theory lectures is limited to 30 participants). To register, the applicants need to send a short (max. 1 page) motivation letter to Vibor Laketa indicating how they plan to use microscopy in their research. Due to a limited number of participants, the applicants are encouraged to apply well in advance of the deadline as the application process will stop once all positions are filled. The workshop is free of charge.
Application deadline is 25.3.2024.
