What can you do to make yourself a more effective doctoral researcher and get the most out of your PhD?
The Advanced Digital Microscopy Core Facility is organising a 7,5-hours course on Advanced Optical and Fluorescence Microscopy and BioImage Analysis.
The workshop will introduce participants to the field of experimental histopathology by reviewing the basic concepts of pathology (macroscopic and microscopic lesions/tissue evaluation), and the routine and specialised histological techniques used to obtain and process tissue samples. Notions of digital pathology and image analysis will be also covered.
Moreover, several examples of the applications of histopathological studies to biomedical research will be presented.
The session is addressed mainly to PhD researchers and users of the Histopathology Facility (previous registration requested).
If you are a young life scientist, SCI FI can give you the skills you need to thrive as an innovator in the healthcare industry.
The first session will concentrate on the well-established methods of classical transgenesis and gene-targeting via embryonic stem cells, and will include examples of how to produce a range of mutation types; for example over-expression models, gene knock-outs and point mutations, both constitutive and conditional.
The second session will address more recent developments, such as the use of gene-editing nucleases, their advantages and limitations, and novel methods of gene transfer.
The workshop will provide a general description of the unit, an introduction to basic statistical concepts, an overview of research integrity topics and research data management, and hands-on experience of bioinformatic tools available on the web.
Enablecares Entrepreneurship “Online Closure Event”, participants from previous editions of the course from Barcelona, Nijmegen, Milan & Copenhagen are invited to come together to enhance the multi-site experience & put into practice the know-how and skill-set developed during the course in a “Business Case Workshop” led by expert entrepreneurial trainer Jeff Skinner. They will also get to hear first-hand experiences from four life-science entrepreneurs, one from each site.
