The NIBSC CEMOVIS
course From 12th April to 16th
April At the National Institute for
Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC), Hertfordshire, United
Kingdom
NIBSC, in conjunction with LEICA
are holding a CEMOVIS workshop. The course will be held at the NIBSC Imaging
laboratory, South Mimms, Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, UK for 5 days commencing
Monday 12th April through to Friday 16th April 2010.
Delegate numbers will be strictly limited to ensure maximum hands-on training.
The ethos of the course is very
much “hands-on” with technical support lectures from scientists in these fields
and application support from LEICA (BAL-TEC) and invited specialists from
University of Cambridge (Benoit Zuber), University of Lausanne (Jacques
Dubochet), Leica (Stephen Murray) and Diatome (Helmut Gnaegi).
The course will embrace all
aspects of CEMOVIS, including theory, sample preparation (high pressure
freezing), sectioning and imaging.
We invite
PhD students, post-doctoral fellows and junior scientists with a life sciences
background interested in preparation and imaging of biological specimens, such
as tissue, cells, organelles and macromolecular complexes to participate in the
course.
