Tentative programme
The scanR workshop aims to bring together a community of leading scientists and experts in high-content imaging to discuss and share knowledge about the latest advancements in studying cellular processes using advanced microscopy techniques. Beyond lectures and talks, the workshop will include four hands-on sessions during which participants will be guided on how to prepare and acquire samples on ScanR high-content and IXplore SpinSR super-resolution microscopy systems, analyze acquired data using scanR and cellSens™ systems combined with TruAI deep learning module, and finally will receive tips and tricks how to visualize and present data from high-content imaging. The leaders of hands-on sessions are ready to train beginners in high-content imaging as well as advanced users. ScanR high-content and IXplore SpinSR super-resolution microscopy systems will be available during the entire workshop, and attendees will have the possibility to acquire and analyze their own samples. Dedicated sessions will facilitate networking between established experts and early-career researchers. Overall, this workshop will offer a friendly and easy-to-access environment for researchers at all levels to promote scientific excellence and collaboration to advance microscopic approaches in cell biology.
