Dear Colleagues

I would like to inform you about the fifth Bangalore Microscopy Course
during Sep. 08-15, 2013. The course is  organized by the National Center
for Biological Sciences (NCBS) in Bangalore, India.

Ron Vale, Nico Stuurman and Kurt Thorn  (UCSF), Jason Swedlow (University
of Dundee, UK) as well as Jitu Mayor, H. Krishnamurthy, and I (NCBS) are
involved in organizing it. This is an annual course, similar to the
Advanced Quantitative Light Microscopy course at the MBL, Woods Hole and
the EMBO microscopy workshops.

This course  provides didactic and hands-on training in a variety of light
microscopy techniques and is taught by international leaders in microscopy.


 Faculty:

• Malte Wachsmuth, European molecular Biological Laboratory,
Germany<http://www.embl.de/~wachsmut//>

• Jan Ellenberg, European molecular Biological Laboratory,
Germany<http://www.ellenberg.embl.de/>

• Christoph Schmidt, Georg August University, Gottingen,
Germany<http://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/58028.html/>

• Steve Ross, Nikon Instrument Inc, USA<http://www.linkedin.com/in/srossnikon>


The course is supported by the major microscopy and camera vendors and will
be held in the first-rate teaching labs and microscopy facilities at the
NCBS.  This follows the previous four Bangalore Microscopy Courses, which
were fabulous successes and made a big impact on most of the students who
attended.

The course is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows
(although an advanced undergraduate, faculty member, or industry scientist
also would be welcome).  The course is  truly international with students
attending from Asia, Europe, and the US.

*We would appreciate if you could encourage potentially interested and
outstanding individuals to apply to the course.*

We also would appreciate if you could disseminate information about this
course by word-of-mouth or through email to graduate students/postdocs at
your institution.
