Date: September 23-30, 2012
Application Deadline: May 30, 2012
Venue: National Centre for Biological Sciences, TIFR, Bangalore
The IVth Bangalore Microscopy Course will be organized at the National Center for Biological Sciences, NCBS, Bangalore, India. Taught by world leaders in biological microscopy, this course provides didactic and hands-on training in state-of-the-art optical microscopy techniques. A range of topics from basic microscopy to super-resolution imaging will be covered. Research seminars detailing applications of light microscopy to address specific biological questions will also be part of the program.
Lectures will be combined with hands-on training in a dedicated teaching laboratory equipped with many state-of-the-art microscopes. The final two days of the course will give the participants an opportunity to do independent work or a mini-project.
Organizers:
Satyajit Mayor, H. Krishnamurthy, Manoj Mathew: NCBS, India
Ron Vale, Nico Stuurman, Kurt Thorn: UCSF, USA
Course Overview:
Attendees will be selected through a competitive selection process. There will be 24 participants, 14 national (Indian) and 10 international. The small number ensures that every participant individually gets enough time on various imaging stations during the hands on training sessions.
International applications will be entertained from across the globe. Previous courses have had participants from China, Singapore, Australia, USA, UK, Russia, Japan, South Africa, Germany, Switzerland, France, Sweden and Pakistan.
The course will be intense and will require full-time participation from morning to evening. Lectures will be combined with practical demonstrations and discussions with teachers. The course will cover many aspects of modern biological microscopy including microscope optics, associated hardware, fluorophores and sample preparation techniques.
Participants can bring their own samples, to image using the systems available at the course. Designated ‘free time on microscopes’ will be available practically every day of the course where the participants can explore a particular imaging system or image their samples.
A set of student independent projects will be provided for the final part of the course. An expert will guide each of these projects. Participants can also design their own projects based on the instruments/techniques available at the course. In such case they will have to bring their own samples and reagents.
All major microscope companies and microscope hardware/software providers are attending and providing additional equipments and support for this course. The participants will have opportunity to interact with technical experts from these companies as well as receive demonstrations of high-end equipments they bring as exhibits. Some of these equipments will also be included as part of the course.
