Applications for the course “Exploring the Cell – Light Microscopy Beyond Basics” are open

From 28^th of November of 2022 to 28^th of February of 2023, life sciences PhD students can apply for the Advanced Course “Exploring the Cell – Light Microscopy Beyond Basics”.

The course results of a partnership between ICBAS (MCbiology PhD Program) and the i3s, and aims to:

1. Introduce the students into state-of-the-art of light microscopy technology;
2. Familiarize students with the various microscopy equipment through a practical component;
3. Introduce digital image analyses as a fundamental tool for projects that involve microscopy.

Beside the basic concepts, “Exploring the Cell – Light Microscopy Beyond Basics” will focus in the advanced light microscopy techniques and applications, such as optical sectioning methods, live cell imaging, molecular analysis, super-resolution microscopy, correlative light-electron microscopy and digital image analysis.

The course is schedule for April of 2023 (between 19^th and 21^st of April) and includes theorical and practical classes at the i3S. Applications are free, but vacancies are limited. For any questions or to send applications please contact posgrad@icbas.up.pt.
