Microscopy Workshop
Probing the Spatiotemporal Limits: New Imaging Methods and Molecular Tools and Their Applications in Cell Biology
Tuesday, December 5, 4:40 pm to 7:15 pm
Workshop Description: Recent advances in microscopy and imaging methods have greatly enhanced our ability to probe cellular processes with unparalleled resolution and speed. Likewise, a growing suite of protein-based molecular sensors and probes allow visualization of dynamic molecular changes within cells. In concert, genetically-encoded optogenetic tools allow use of light for control of molecular events with fine spatiotemporal resolution. This workshop will cover a range of new imaging technologies and approaches that push the spatiotemporal limits, improving our abilities to visualize and perturb cell biology.
