As part of the Technology Platforms thematic Group showcase series, the Imaging Across Scales Group will be holding their 2024 showcase on the 7 of October (10am – 2pm) in the Michael Smith Lecture Theatre.
Come and find out how the Imaging Across Scales Group can support your research with:
- the latest imaging technological and methodological offerings available within the technology platforms (the perfect opportunity for new PhD students to find out what support is available!)
- case studies highlighting the interdisciplinary work undertaken in an integrated manner by the technology platforms within the Imaging across scales theme
- hear from our invited speaker – Dr Vicki Gold, an Associate Professor at the Living Systems Institute, University of Exeter, specialising in cryo-electron microscopy of large molecular machines spanning both eukaryotic and prokaryotic biology. By integrating both single-particle cryo-electron microscopy, cryo-tomography and molecular modelling, Vicki has made significant contributions to our understanding of bacterial motility driven by bacterial type IV pili, which will be the focus of her presentation
- what support vendors can offer the users of the equipment within the technology platforms (and their latest tech offerings!)
Attendees are welcome to attend but are asked to register if they are intending to stay for the lunch or wish to present a poster! Registration for this event can be found here. PLEASE NOTE YOU MUST ENTER CODE: 3706 TO GAIN ACCESS TO REGISTER!
This event is part of the FBMH technology platforms showcase series. The series is comprised of three thematic groups aimed at promoting interdisciplinary working across the platforms and developing new integrated approaches for research projects within specific research domains.
The three themes are:
- Imaging across scales – 7 October
- Protein and Metabolite Analysis – 14 October
- Integrated genomics – 21 October
Each theme is led by both an academic and technologist expert and brings together the relevant technology platforms with academic users to maximise how the technology platforms can support the academic research community, develop new technologies and underpin interdisciplinary work.
The themes will each host a showcase event to highlight the work they currently support and provide a forum for academics and technologists to network over the latest technological and methodological advances within the theme remit. In addition, new students or new users will be able to find out about the support available in the technology platforms, hear from users who have helped develop the interdisciplinary pipelines within the facilities, and find out from vendors what support they can provide.
For each showcase, attendees are welcome to attend any of the sessions they are interested in but are asked to register if they are intending on staying for the lunch.
