Registration is open for The Histochemical Society Immunohistochemistry
and Microscopy Course, now in its fourth year at the Marine Biological
Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA from March 9 - 14, 2013 and we include a
brief description of the course below. However, we also want to update
you on Travel Awards available for the course through HCS and the FASEB
MARC Program.
HCS is offering Student Travel Awards to offset the cost of attending
the HCS IHCM Course. The awards are based on how the course will benefit
you in your work. The application deadline is January 18, 2013.
Information about the HCS Travel Awards can be found on the the HCS website:
http://histochemicalsociety.org/Awards/Students---Post-Docs.aspxAdditionally, students from groups underrepresented in science may apply
for financial support for travel-related expenses and course
registration through the FASEB MARC Travel Program. The DEADLINE for
submission is February 12, 2013. These awards are processed on a first
come basis. Information about the program may be found on their website:
http://www.faseb.org/MARC-and-Professional-Development/Travel-Awards/Scientific-Meetings-and-Conferences.aspxYou may access the MARC application here:

VERY IMPORTANT: You have until the deadlines listed above to apply for
awards but YOU MUST REGISTER FOR THE COURSE BY JANUARY 10, 2013
ABOUT THE COURSE:
The Immunohistochemistry and Microscopy (IHCM) course provides
participants in-depth theory of and extensive hands-on experience with
immunohistochemistry (IHC) techniques as well as theory and hands-on
experience with a broad range of microscopic imaging techniques. The
course emphasizes hands-on experience, troubleshooting, and the exchange
of ideas between and among faculty and participants.
The course will enable participants to independently carry out IHC and
imaging in their laboratories and to critically evaluate and
troubleshoot problems using IHC and microscopy techniques. The
interplay of theory, hands-on experience, and discussion is central to
this course that serves advanced undergraduates, graduate students,
laboratory technicians, postdoctoral students, and new and established
faculty/research clinicians.
The course is limited to 30 students and registration includes
accommodations and all meals and breaks. Accommodations are on the
campus of MBL. We look forward to seeing you in March.
