Interim Director of Microscopy, University of Richmond (Virginia, USA)

Posted by Omar Quintero, on 31 August 2021

The Department of Biology at the University of Richmond invites applications for a full-time position as Interim Director of Microscopy and Imaging to begin in January of 2022. This is a 12-month term appointment, annually renewable for up to three years. The University is committed to supporting the essential role of microscopy and imaging across

Hard X-ray Imaging of Biological Soft Tissues symposium

Posted by FocalPlane, on 20 August 2021

The Francis Crick Institute is hosting the 2nd edition of ‘Hard X-ray Imaging of Biological Soft Tissues symposium’ on Thursday 14 October 2021, 12:00-18:35 BST. This is a half day virtual meeting organised by Carles Bosch, Lucy Collinson, Elizabeth Duke, and Andreas Schaefer. Leading scientists in the field will highlight the questions currently being addressed

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.

A First Exposure to Super-Resolution Microscopy

Posted by Afonso Mendes, on 11 June 2021

Biomedical research encompasses several fields of expertise involving complex biological topics and technologies. Studying a given subject is a process that takes years, decades, and sometimes a lifetime to complete. Consequently, researchers tend to become highly familiar with a specific subset of scientific topics and experimental approaches. However, they are often confronted with the cumbersome

FocalPlane features... Pavel Tomancak

Posted by FocalPlane, on 7 June 2021

In case you missed ‘FocalPlane features…’ this month, here is the recording of the webinar given by Pavel Tomancak on Tuesday 1 June 2021. Light sheet microscopy has been over more than a decade producing stunning new views of the dynamics of living systems. I have been observing the rapid growth of this technology, contributed

FocalPlane features... Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz

Posted by FocalPlane, on 1 June 2021

In case you missed our first ‘FocalPlane features…’ event, here is the recording of the webinar given by Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz on Tuesday 4 May 2021. Powerful new ways to image the internal structures and complex dynamics of cells are revolutionizing cell biology and bio-medical research. In this talk, I will focus on how emerging fluorescent

Phototoxicity - the good, the bad and the quantified.

Posted by Philippe Laissue, on 14 May 2021

Our virtual meeting on phototoxicity was held in late January 2021, generously sponsored by the European Microscopy Society and enabled by the Royal Microscopical Society. In four hours, spread over two days, the five organisers and twenty invited participants discussed the problem of phototoxicity in live imaging, and how we can start to tackle this
