Dear Listers,
The Institute of Medical Biology in Singapore, along with PicoQuant,
are organising the 2nd Southeast Asian Course on "F-Techniques: FCS,
FCCS, FLCS, FRET, FLIM and FRAP" which is, of course, open to all.
There is a great line-up of speakers and practical instructors in
place.
Full details on the course can be found on this website, and a summary below:

The course is intended for individuals wishing an in-depth
introduction to the F-techniques and their application to the life
sciences. Participants are normally graduate students or postdocs who
are using fluorescence microscopy in their research. Most participants
have some knowledge of fluorescence, typically in a specialized area.
However, other individuals, from totally different research areas and
industry, get the opportunity to enter this exciting field in a very
effective way and benefit especially from the experimental section.
Course program
The course consists of lectures and practical sessions. Participation
is possible by attending lectures only or attending lectures and
practical sessions.
The lectures on Monday and Tuesday (July 16/17) will deal with
fluorescence, theory of F-techniques (FRET, FLIM, FCS and FRAP), FCS
variants, instrumentation and data analysis. The major FRET methods
will be covered in detail. The lectures on Wednesday and Thursday
(July 18/19) will cover research applications of F-techniques in cell
and developmental biology. On Friday (July 20) lectures will focus on
superresolution microscopy, PALM, STORM and structured illumination.
Practical sessions (afternoons of July 17-20) will cover steady-state
and time-resolved experiments as well as data analysis on various
instruments provided by market leading companies.
A poster session/welcome reception will be held on the first evening
(Monday, July 16) to allow participants to meet instructors.
