[su_heading size=”24″]From Live cell imaging to Electron microscopy[/su_heading]

Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy (CLEM) takes an increasing place in scientific investigation. In our workshop, we propose hands-on training using our innovative protocol, centered around the CryoCapsule® and our newly developed software eC-CLEM®. Practical sessions will include cell culture on the CryoCapsule® and live cell imanging, High Pressure Freezing (HPM100 and HPM Light μ), Freeze Substitution to preserve fluorescence, serial sectioning, fluorescence on section, electron microscopy and image registration.

• It is firstly intended to scientists with advanced expertise in light microscopy and/or electron microscopy.
• 2 sessions of 4 people each will be organized to ensure that each participant gets the chance to practice.
• Evening discussions include presentation by each participant to have a change to discuss their own CLEM projects.
• A practical manual will be provided, covering all the steps of the method.

We will be pleased and honoured to welcome Eric Betzig during our Annual meeting 17th-18th of September, at the Institut Curie (12 Rue Lhomond, 75005 Paris).

Eric Betzig was awarded the 2014 Nobel prize in Chemistry on his work in the field of super resolution microscopy. He is going to talk about the newest developments in live cell imaging, amongst one is the revolutionary lattice light sheet microscopy technique. His talk is now scheduled within the Annual Meeting of France-BioImaging, the 17th from 11 to 12 a.m.

The scientific part of the meeting will follow the main topics below:

• SPT-Super Resolution (WP1a)
• Bioimage Informatics – Image Processing & Data Management (WP4)
• HTP/HCS Imaging (WP2)
• CLEM/Super CLEM (WP1c)
• Inter-INBS session (invitation of Frisbi and Phenomin National Infrastructures members)
• New Contrast & In-Depth Imaging (WP1d)
• Multimodal & Quantitative Fluorescence Microscopies (WP1b)
• Probe Development, Optomanipulation & Optogenetics (WP3)

* Do not hesitate to bring posters for the poster sessions (see program) !!!*

For fifteen years, biological imaging has changed deeply thanks to the work of a large interdisciplinary community (physicists, chemists, biologists, instrumentalists, computer scientists, mathematicians and physicians) who is both a carrier of basic research the interface between photon / living matter and creator of new analytical tools, engaging biological questions. Developments in imaging are increasingly limiting and quick, minimally invasive and adaptable to the molecular study in living organisms. They require tu ensure recursively knowledge transfer within the community, to educate the younger generation to this interface in the plurality of its components, while promoting the integration of new skills, especially in the domain analysis, data management and modeling. Those are the aims of the school “MiFoBio”

MiFoBio allows participants to not be limited to theoretical exchanges, but confrontations around instruments in real operating condition, on live samples of biological interest. This is a unique opportunity for training in the most advanced technologies in functional microscopy. These workshops are designed to complete various imaging devices: microscopes super resolution multiphoton, small animal imaging, FLIM / FCS CARS .. provided by the industrial partners of the school or by research teams in the case of prototype systems. Several workshops computer are also introduced for the analysis and processing of data. The basic rule of the School is that industrial undertake to allow full autonomy to scientific systems available. Piloting workshops for academic and not by industrial is indeed a key to the success of these practices phases.

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to inform you that the second edition of the France-BioImaging Advanced Training (FBI-AT) took place on 9-13 December 2013 in Gif-sur-Yvette (Essonne).

Thanks to all participants!

2^nd edition of the “France-BioImaging Advanced Training” course,

an initiative of the GDR 2588 Microscopie et Imagerie du Vivant

9^th -13^th December 2013

  The FBI-AT course alternates classes, small group courses, practical courses and trans-module training.

France-BioImaging
advanced microscopy meets biology at different scales

Saturday August 30th, 9h-12h – Palais des Congrès, Paris

Preliminary program – Registration until July 31st

France-BioImaging is the laureate, in the field of Biological Imaging, of a national initiative to support the access to innovative research to a wide scientific, medical and industrial community throughout France, Europe and beyond.

Full understanding of life processes relies on the development of new technologies enabling the multiscale observation and quantification of biological systems.

At the frontier between molecular and cell biology, biophysics and engineering, mathematics and bioinformatics, France-BioImaging gathers, in a coordinated infrastructure unique in France, several outstanding cellular imaging centers supported by laboratories for state-of the art R&D with the aim to give faster access to advanced imaging techniques and methods to a wide scientific community and to participate to socio-economical development through industrial partnerships and innovations.

This meeting is intended for the whole community of researchers (research fellows, engineers, PhD candidates, students) to illustrate how to answer diverse biological questions using innovative imaging solutions.

Admission is open to participants of the main FEBS EMBO conference but restricted to the first 120 registered persons. Please register here before July 31st (free of charge).

France-BioImaging Kick-Off meeting allows to gather the whole FBI community, node coordinators, associated teams, engineers and “fixed-term contracts” recruited on the FBI project, but also the main users of our facilities and collaborators.

One part of the meeting will consist in the presentation of up-to-date information, (governance, SAB, user access, user committee, EuroBioImaging,…) and talks of invited speakers in plenary session.

The other part will consist in the actualization of the Working Groups (WGs) that have in charge the coordination and management of the different Work Packages (WPs). To be efficient, WGs will work in groups of less than 20 persons to define the advancement of works already done, the ongoing projects and eventual collaborations between nodes. These WGs will work in parallel sessions and a restitution of their work will stand in plenary session.

Program.
