====== BioImaging Workshop, 20 - 22 January 2009 ====== {{optical_sectioning_header_2.jpg?650|}} ===== Introduction ===== Carl Zeiss MicroImaging and Instituto de Medicina Molecular are happy to invite you to the **Advanced Optical Sectioning Microscopy Course**, hosting the European premier of **Zeiss On Your Campus Tour 2009** featuring the next generation of 3D Live Cell Imaging systems. As a microscopy user, you will have an excellent opportunity to learn about advanced techniques as well as use high-end systems such as **confocal spinning disc**, **TIR** and **structured illumination**. Get three days of inspiration from top imaging experts and colleagues in a relaxed atmosphere. We are looking forward to show you the newest developments on optical sectioning microscopy. This meeting gives you a unique opportunity to get familiar with the new systems, know their comparative strengths and try them with your own samples. The course will take place in IMM Lisbon, from 20 - 22nd January 2009. ===== The Systems ===== {{new_systems_3.jpg|}} During the course you will have the chance to attend demos and try the following systems with your own samples: * **LSM 700** - Entry level confocal system * **Laser TIRF 3** - Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence system * **Cell Observer SD** - Spinning Disc system * **ApoTome** - Structured Illumination system ===== The Program ===== ==== Day 1 - Tuesday, January 20th ==== ^ Time ^ Title ^ Speaker ^ From ^ Where ^ | **9:00** | __Welcome Reception__ ||| room 57 (floor -1) | | **9:15** | "Optical Sectioning Methods I" | **Sven Laarmann** | Zeiss | room 57 (floor -1) | | **9:45** | "Imaging Haemocyte Migration in vivo" | **Soren Prag** | IMM | room 57 (floor -1) | | **10:15** | __Short break__ |||| | **10:30** | **Hands-on sessions on Imaging Systems** ||| Labs 14 and 15 (floor 0) | | **13:30** | __Lunch break__ |||| | **14:30** | "Imaging gene expression in living cells" | **José Rino** | IMM | room 57 (floor -1) | | **15:00** | "Dynamic cell 3D reorganizations during somitogenesis and the roles of Fibronectin and N-cadherin" | **Gabriel Martins** | FCUL | room 57 (floor -1) | | **15:30** | __Short break__ |||| | **16:00** | **Hands-on sessions on Imaging Systems** ||| Labs 14 and 15 (floor 0) | | **19:00** | __End of session__ |||| ==== Day 2 - Wednesday, January 21st ==== ^ Time ^ Title ^ Speaker ^ From ^ Where ^ | **9:00** | "Maintaining Spatial Resolution" | **Thorsten Kues** | Zeiss | room 57 (floor -1) | | **9:45** | "Dynamic Imaging of Tissue Morphogenesis in the Zebrafish" | **Mathias Koeppen** | IGC | room 57 (floor -1) | | **10:15** | __Short break__ |||| | **10:30** | **Hands-on sessions on Imaging Systems** ||| Labs 14 and 15 (floor 0) | | **13:30** | __Lunch break__ |||| | **14:30** | "Wound Healing Dynamics" | **António Jacinto** | IMM | room 57 (floor -1) | | **15:00** | "Achieving Single Molecule Resolution in Microscopy" | **Ricardo Henriques** | IMM | room 57 (floor -1) | | **15:30** | __Short break__ |||| | **16:00** | **Hands-on sessions on Imaging Systems** ||| Labs 14 and 15 (floor 0) | | **19:00** | __End of session__ |||| | **20:00** | **Dinner / Social Event** |||| ==== Day 3 - Thursday, January 22nd ==== ^ Time ^ Title ^ Speaker ^ From ^ Where ^ | **9:00** | "Techniques to Separate Multiple Fluorescent Dyes with Laser Scanning Microscopy" | **Monika Marx** | Zeiss | room 57 (floor -1) | | **9:45** | "Catch me if you can: live cell imaging by spinning disk confocal microscopy" | **Paula Sampaio** | IBMC | room 57 (floor -1) | | **10:15** | __Short break__ |||| | **10:30** | **Hands-on sessions on Imaging Systems** ||| Labs 14 and 15 (floor 0) | | **13:30** | __Lunch break__ |||| | **14:30** | "The pollen tube oscillator: integrating biophysics and biochemistry into cellular growth and morphogenesis" | **Nuno Moreno** | IGC | room 57 (floor -1) | | **15:00** | "Ways of Seeing: Imaging Host-Parasite Interactions" | **Kirsten Hanson** | IMM | room 57 (floor -1) | | **15:30** | __Closing - Certificates Distribution__ ||| room 57 (floor -1) | | **16:00** | __Short break__ |||| | **16:30** | **Hands-on sessions on Imaging Systems** ||| Labs 14 and 15 (floor 0) | | **18:30** | __End of session__ |||| ===== The Speakers ===== **António Jacinto** - Tissue Morphogenesis Unit, Instituto de Medicina Molecular, Lisbon **Gabriel Martins** - Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa, Lisbon **José Rino** - BioImaging Unit, Instituto de Medicina Molecular, Lisbon **Kirsten Hanson** - Malaria Unit, Instituto de Medicina Molecular, Lisbon **Mathias Koeppen** - Laboratory of Tissue Morphogenesis, Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência, Lisbon **Monika Marx** - Carl Zeiss MicroImaging **Nuno Moreno** - Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência, Lisbon **Ricardo Henriques** - Gene Expression and Biophysics Unit, Instituto de Medicina Molecular, Lisbon **Soren Prag** - Tissue Morphogenesis Unit, Instituto de Medicina Molecular, Lisbon **Sven Laarmann** - Carl Zeiss MicroImaging **Paula Sampaio** - Advanced Light Microscopy Unit, Instituto de Biologia Molecular e Celular, Porto **Thorsten Kues** - Carl Zeiss MicroImaging ===== Where ===== __Instituto de Medicina Molecular__ Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Lisboa Av.
