EMBL Courses and Conferences during the Coronavirus pandemic
With the onsite programme paused, many of our events are now being offered in virtual formats.
Registration is open as usual for many events, with back-up plans in place to move further courses and conferences online as necessary. Registration fees for any events affected by the COVID-19 disruption are fully refundable.
More information for participants of events at EMBL Heidelberg can be found here.
Course Overview
This 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. The course focuses on teaching the theoretical background and the latest practical developments in the field.
Audience
Students, early-stage post-docs and technicians are encouraged to apply.
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. We will provide training in project/experimental design, often adapted to each of the students 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.
