2nd Research Skills Training Workshop
'ADVANCED MOLECULAR TOOLS AND IMAGING'
University of Düsseldorf, Germany
7th - 9th October 2009
*** The deadline for this event has now passed. Please check the website for details of future training workshops ***
The European FINSysB Network is an interdisciplinary research programme focussing on the molecular interactions between the medically important fungus Candida albicans and its human host during disease progression. Our aim is to generate bright, ambitious and well-trained young researchers with multidisciplinary skills in this field. Therefore our research programme is supplemented by a strong, multidisciplinary training programme in research skills and complementary transferrable skills.
We are able to offer a small number of places to external participants on our Research Skills Training Workshop on Advanced Molecular Tools and Imaging, to be held at the University of Düsseldorf, Germany. A small number of grants are available to applicants.
This three day course will include:
- a lecture series on the application of advanced molecular tools, such as FACS, parallel sequencing and solid state/liquid state NMR, and a variety of microscopy techniques.
- laboratory training in FACS, real time PCR, NMR, confocal, apotome and 2-photon microscopy, and FRET.
Training will be provided by internationally renowned researchers including Andreas Weber, Henrike Heise, Christine Rose, Claus Seidel, Steffen Rupp, Christophe d’Enfert and Joachim Ernst. This will be an excellent opportunity for young researchers to meet other fungal pathogen experts.
Applicants should send their application letter, a CV of not more than two pages, and two references to Dr Emily Swaine [e.k.swaine@abdn.ac.uk] by 10th August 2009. If financial support is being sought, the application letter should include a justification of this request.
