Cryo-electron Micoscopy Symposium at UCLA

September 24, 2009

The two-day Advanced Electron Microscopy in NanoMedicine Symposium from Friday, Oct. 2—Saturday, Oct. 3 at the California NanoSystems (CNSI) at UCLA brings together researchers from academia and industry to discuss cryo-electron microscopy, or cryoEM, an important new imaging tool with major applications for nanobiology and nanomedicine, particularly for understanding viruses and other macromolecular complexes. Researchers can use cryoEM to visualize a broad range of assemblies and nanometer-scale structures in three dimensions — from molecular to atomic resolution.
Organized by the Electron Imaging Center for Nanomachines (EICN) , a newly established CNSI core lab, the symposium will also serve as a venue for the public unveiling of the top-of-the-line Titan Krios cryoEM and Titan (S)TEM microscopes in the EICN lab.

Dynamic Microscopy meets GPCR Dimer Research 2009

September 7, 2009

From October 08 to 10, 2009 the Bio-Imaging Center at the University of Würzburg, Germany invites you to the annually Dynamic Microscopy Workshop. This year, the Workshop will be held together with the GPCR Dimer Symposium. Like in recent years, the goal of the workshop is to introduce and present some of the most modern microscopy techniques to a multi-diciplinary audience of microscopy enthusiasts from the medicinal and natural sciences and also for both the beginners and the advanced. There is no fee for the workshop or symposium. Registration is required.
