Workshop description
In the morning, the course will have plenary lectures that introduce specific techniques and how these can solve biologically-relevant questions. In the afternoon, hands-on practicals will train attendants on these techniques, providing a complete view of the experimental flow, from sample preparation to data analysis, interpretation and, when relevant, modelization. Trainees will choose a single module centered on their biological question of interest, with the following choice : (i) cytoskeletal dynamics; (ii) dynamics of lipids and membrane receptors; (iii) imaging of RNA and gene expression; (iv) organization of DNA in prokaryotes and eukaryotes; (v) structure and dynamics of viral components. Advanced microscopy techniques covered during the workshop include : super-resolution microscopies (PALM / STORM, Structured Illumination, STED), Single Particle Tracking, RNA imaging, Correlation based microscopies and Atomic Force Microscopy.
Every module will have 3 practical sessions, each session being centered on a technique, plus one session dedicated to data analysis. Each participant will be able to participate of three practicals within their module of choice. To guaranty access to set-ups and proper training, each practical session will guest only 3 persons. The sessions will be run in parallel, such that each module will accept only 8/9 participants .
FBIAT is ideal for researchers with a basic training in microscopy willing to become familiar with advanced techniques to answer specific biological questions. We will consider applications from PhD students, post-docs and more senior scientists
