FocalPlane features... Michael Dustin

Posted by FocalPlane, on 10 August 2021

In case you missed ‘FocalPlane features…’ this month, here is the recording of the webinar given by Michael Dustin on Tuesday 3 August 2021. Follicular Helper T cells, Cytotoxic T cells (CTL) and Natural Killer (NK) cells are effectors of the immune system that play important roles in defense against viral infection and cancer. In

FocalPlane features... Eva Nogales

Posted by FocalPlane, on 21 July 2021

In case you missed ‘FocalPlane features…’ this month, here is the recording of the webinar given by Eva Nogales on Tuesday 6 July 2021. As non-crystallizable polymers, microtubules have been the target of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) studies since the technique was first established. Over the years, image processing strategies have been developed that take care

From EUBIAS to NEUBIAS Academy: from trainee to trainer, how to fall in love with a community!

Posted by Rocco D'Antuono, on 20 July 2021

During my university time at physics, I specialised in biophysics and started to approach advanced microscopy, but my idea of measurement had always been connected with other instruments’ readouts, not exclusively images. Once obtained my MSc, I started to work in an imaging facility at IFOM (Milan), as a microscopist, becoming later also in charge

Podcast about Bio-Image Analysis, Microscopy, and Science in General

Posted by Rafael Camacho, on 7 July 2021

Why a podcast? At my home university, I was formally trained as a chemist. That meant I spent significant amounts of my time in front of the lab bench. I loved lab work, and an important part of the lab’s culture was the radio. There was no successful chemistry without good radio in the background.
