The 11th French Society of Angiogenesis meeting that will be held the 4-6 June 2025.

This meeting will take place in Autrans (Vercors), in the mountains close to Grenoble.

The program delves into emerging fields in vascular biology, including blood vessel heterogeneity, their formation, stability, and dysfunctions in diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular conditions. It highlights recent advances in tools and models for rapid clinical applications.

The program will be supported by international experts, including two keynote speakers, Prof. Shahin Rafii of Cornell University, USA, and Prof. Martin Schwartz of Yale University, USA as well as renowned European guest speakers.

The conference will take place in the natural setting of the Vercors, fostering interaction through nature-based activities.

Please visit the website for more information and registration.

Following the successful COMULIS conferences in Austria, Sweden and Cyprus, the next COMULIS conference will expand beyond European borders.

The upcoming COMULISglobe Conference will take place at Stellenbosch University (https://www.sun.ac.za), South Africa from January 20th-21st, 2025.

This conference is designed to bring global experts, researchers, facility staff and exhibitors together from different imaging modalities to stimulate knowledge exchange and the formation of new collaborations. The conference program offers an attractive combination of oral presentations and posters regarding CLEM techniques from sample preparation to image analysis. 

PRELIMINARY CONFERENCE PROGRAM

For attendees from low or middle-income* countries, the conference registration fee is USD 50 for students and USD 100 for non-students. Participants from high-income countries are required to pay a fee of USD 250. This fee includes meals and refreshments for the duration of the conference.

This exciting scientific meeting will take place as an in-person event.

January 22nd – 24th a Correlated Multimodal Imaging workshop will be held at Stellenbosch University as well as Tygerberg Campus. The workshop is free if charge, but a selection process will be followed.

Only participants of the conference are eligible for the workshop.

PRELIMINARY WORKSHOP PROGRAM

The 1st edition of the International Symposium of Institut Curie, From basic science to cancer research will be held on May 15, 16 and 17, 2024, at the Maison de la Chimie, in Paris. This Symposium aims to bring together 700 participants, biologists, chemists, physicists, clinicians, experts in basic science or in cancerology, from the United States, Europe or Asia. All will meet in a historic and prestigious venue: the Maison de la Chimie, in the heart of Paris to attend internationally renowned speakers’ conferences. You will have the opportunity to meet and exchange with Charles Swanton from the Francis Crick Institute (UK), Edith Heard from the EMBL (DE) or Yasmine Belkaid from Institut Pasteur (FR), and many others to be found here: https://www.curiesymposium.fr/speakers/.

For its first edition, the symposium will include four sessions dedicated respectively to evolution, genetics, immunity and systems biology, as well as a final session entitled “Science has great beauty” in homage to Marie Curie.

The RIC (Réseau d’Imagerie Cellulaire Paris-Saclay) is pleased to invite you to a one-hour
visioconference.
D. Slavka Kascakova will discuss her research themes in the biomedical field and her
technological approaches using different lines of the SOLEIL Synchrotron (Source Optimisée
de Lumière d’Énergie Intermédiaire du LURE ) in St Aubin.
Currently Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine (Université Paris-Saclay) and UPSaclay’s
academic representative on the European university alliance EUGLOH, Slavka Kascakova
works as a researcher at the Centre Hépato-Biliaire of the Hôpital Paul Brousse in Villejuif.
Her main lines of research are aimed at diagnosing liver diseases, characterizing liver
transplants for patients, and developing therapeutic strategies for fulminant hepatitis and
primary liver cancers, thanks in particular to the use of multimodal spectroscopic approaches
at the Synchrotron.

The use of fluorescence microscopy (wide field, confocal, multiphoton, and now superresolution) in combination with genetically encoded fluorescence probes comprise a powerful set of scientific tools to study live cells. However, surprising little practical and theoretical training in such methods exists within standard curricula, particular at the early stage of training (Masters or Doctorate level). This course offers to cover basic optics principles necessary to understand the origin of microscope resolution and design. Participants will get hands-on experience implementing simple optical configurations to illustrate these fundamental principles. Subsequently, participants will perform experiments on state-of-the-art imaging equipment provided by microscope vendors.

Lectures will cover, in depth, the principle behind traditional high resolution imaging methods such as confocal, multi-photon, and the recently developed super-resolutions methods. Students will also learn about fundamental properties of synthetic and genetically encoded fluorescence indicators used for cellular morphology imaging and signaling recording. Finally guest lectures will demonstrate applications of some of the discussed methodologies.

This course is intended for Master’s students and international PhD students who expect to be using advanced live cell fluorescence microscopy for future studies.

Master 2 students from partner Universities (Sorbonne University and University of Paris Cité) MUST NOT register online and must submit their registration request DIRECTLY to contacts in charge of their university course. These students have free access to the course.

All other students must register online and pay their registration fees.

The next Euro-BioImaging User Forum will take place online on Thursday, October 12, 2023, from 2 pm-5 pm CEST. The topic is “Understanding plant biology.” This event will highlight how cutting-edge imaging technologies can support research into the structure and function of plants, shed light on plant health, resilience and adaptability, and help answer agroecology research questions. Applications of diverse imaging technologies and plant biology research contexts will be highlighted by two keynote speakers and presentations from users of the Euro-BioImaging services, showcasing the specific expertise available at the Euro-BioImaging Nodes. We will also provide information on funding opportunities to access Euro-BioImaging services for agroecology-related research projects.

France-BioImaging was at the Euro-BioImaging‘s All Hands Nodes Meeting at EMBL in Heidelberg. It was a pleasure to share this unique moment with all the Euro-BioImaging nodes! We had great discussions from passionate people around building the future of the infrastructure and providing open access to high-end technologies and expertise.

This was the perfect time to hear about the latest news and opportunities from every European nodes. Several FBI members were there:

  • Caroline Thiriet, our External affairs manager, was a panelist at a discussion about “Funding for national imaging communities”, highlighting the history of France-BioImaging and how the french infrastructure works.
  • Perrine Paul-Gilloteaux, our Image data mission officer, gave a fantastic talk about “Linking and analyzing correlative image datasets”.
  • Fabrice Cordelières, our Training mission officer, and Alban Belloir, Communication officer, presented two posters on training and about our infrastructure’s structuring activities.
  • Melina Petrel, as an Electron #microscopy specialist, represented the FBI core facility staff.

Thanks to all Euro-BioImaging team for organizing and hosting this wonderful event! We are glad to be part of this amazing international community working together as a European Research Infrastructure!

The PFIC facility organizes a technological seminar on “Quantitave Phase Imaging – exploring the unseen” April 20th at 10:00 am in Espace Maurice Tubiana at Gustave Roussy, Villejuif.

Quantitative Phase Imaging (QPI) is a novel label-free microscopy technique bringing a completely new contrast into the live-cell imaging field. It allows extracting of information-rich quantitative data from unlabeled cells and monitoring their dry mass in non-invasive experiments.

This seminar will explain the principle of technology and present broad range of applications focusing on the label-free analysis of cell growth, cell death, cell migration etc. Apart from cell biology research, studies of biomolecular condensates and biomaterials will be discussed.

The seminar will be held in English by Zuzana Nováková (Telight application specialist).

Hope to see you all you interested by this technology there!
