Welcome
Dear friends and colleagues,
Recent developments in light and electron microscopy have revolutionized research in cell biology, structural biology and biophysics, resolving the spatiotemporal organization of biomolecules at the nanoscale and allowing the visualization of previously inaccessible macromolecular structures. This 24 hours conference will provide intriguing insights into cutting edge technological advances in super-resolution light microscopy and electron microscopy, including cryo-electron microscopy and cryo-electron tomography, combined with examples of breakthrough discoveries made possible by these technologies.
Two integrated workshops will address basic and advanced issues important for the successful application of imaging techniques, such as optimal sample preparation, labeling strategies, image analysis and data management.
In addition, there will be short talks and poster flash talks selected from abstracts, a poster session and plenty of networking opportunities. A meeting of the Junior GBM will be held as a satellite event.
The conference is aimed at both experienced users and beginners wishing to discover the fascinating world of microscopy. Places in the auditorium are limited, so early registration is recommended.
We are looking forward to an exciting meeting!
