"Innovations in Light Microscopy"
UCSF QB3 Nikon Imaging Symposium

 

Saturday, September 30, 2006 - 8:45 am - 6:30 pm
Byers Auditorium, Genentech Hall, UCSF Mission Bay Campus

 

Co-sponsored by QB3, Nikon Instruments and Technical Instruments
Additional sponsorship by Applied Scientific Instrumentation Imaging, Chroma, Molecular Devices, Photometrics,
Prior Scientific, Solamere, Technology Group Inc. and Sutter Instrument

 

This symposium celebrates recent advances in light microscopy. Investigators at this symposium use advanced light microscopy to tackle the complex subcellular dynamics that are at the heart of several fundamental questions in cell biology. Biological areas of emphasis include cell migration, cell division, and cell signaling. Technical innovations include surpassing the resolution limit of light microscopy, using high-throughput microscopy to bring microscopy into the age of genomics, combining advances in engineering with light microscopy, advances in automated image processing, and the latest in total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy. Also join us in celebrating the opening of the Nikon Imaging Center for advanced light microscopy at UCSF.

 

Speakers include:

Dan Axelrod, University of Michigan
Gaudenz Danuser, Scripps
Paul Forscher, Yale
Jay Groves, QB3 UC Berkeley
Mats Gustafsson, QB3 UCSF
Karsten Weis, QB3 UC Berkeley
Zvi Kam, Weizmann Institute, Israel
Stephen Quake, Stanford
Aaron Straight, Stanford
Nico Stuurman, UCSF
Orion Weiner, QB3 UCSF
Torsten Wittman, UCSF

 

Attendance is free for academia. Please register online at www.qb3.org before Tuesday, September 26.

 

We would also like to advise your colleagues to attend and to encourage you to present a poster (as an added inducement we are offering the poster selected as best by the attendees an iPod Nano).
