Recap of FBI-AT 2024: “Light-Sheet Microscopy: Principle and Applications to Neuroscience and 3D Cell Culture”
From November 4 to 7, the Broca Center (Neurocampus Bordeaux) hosted the fourth edition of the advanced microscopy training organized by France-BioImaging Work Group on « Multiscale Light-Sheet Microscopy ».
FBI-AT 2024 brought together experts, engineers, researchers, and industry professionals to present the main applications of light-sheet microscopy to neuroscience and 3D cell culture. Participants also had the opportunity to put their newly acquired knowledge into practice through workshops at various sites and facilities of the Bordeaux node (IINS, BIC, VoxCell).
During these four days of intensive training, four major themes were addressed to cover the wide range of applications in neuroscience and 3D cell culture:
- Large Sample Imaging – Clearing & Expansion
- 3D Cellular Models Culture & Imaging
- Neuronal Network Imaging
- Image Analysis
“The theoretical knowledge covered during the conferences was perfectly useful in the workshops, and I would even say the workshops allowed us to go even further!”
Aurelien Debonne, PRIMACEN platform
“This congress was very thorough, with presentations in the morning and workshops in the afternoon. The selected speakers covered the entire scope of microscopy with biological samples: the approach, sample preparation, and even microscope selection!”
Nadege Le Roy, TreeFrog Therapeutics
Finally, participants enjoyed convivial moments to share their experiences and discover new technologies offered by the industry professionals present during these days.
As for the next edition, see you in 2026!
