The major aim of the course is to allow participants to experience modern cell biology at work: not only to see but also to try out in practice how cutting-edge technologies can be used to answer questions at the frontiers of cell biology. It is a tradition that the entire faculty of the Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit of EMBL teaches the course to cover a broad spectrum of techniques. In addition, being embedded in the collaborative environment at EMBL, the course provides an excellent opportunity for participants and course faculty to discuss current and future challenges in cell biology.
Topics: cell biology, biophysics, data analysis, bioinformatics, imaging, microscopy, sample preparation, image analysis, mechanobiology
