The 6th Monash Micro Imaging Live Cell imaging workshop will be held from
the 27th November to the 2nd December 2011.


Title                Live Cell Imaging 2011
When             Sunday November 27th – Friday December 2nd.
Where            Monash Micro Imaging, Monash University,
Melbourne, Australia
Tuition            $1500AUD +GST (10%)
Students         24 positions available

Topics to be covered include
Confocal, Multiphoton, Live Cell, "Deep" tissue imaging, Protein-Protein
Interactions, Optimising Imaging, Digital Imaging and Analysis.

We will provide a range of fluorescent cell markers and novel
fluorescent protein tags that will be used during the course on cell lines.

We will include practical experiments taken from actual research being
conducted in MMI labs; topics include autophagy, infectivity and cell death,
brainbow imaging in the chick embryo, and 3D photoactivation in mouse
blastocysts.

To ensure all aspects of imaging are covered we will be Q&A sessions with
experts from Imaris and Volocity about your own research and holding
evening image processing tutorials. We recommend that students get
accommodation locally to allow and ensure full participation in these
evening sessions (finish @ 10pm).

Groups will be assigned a mentor to assist them with the science of
live cell microscopy. Representatives of the microscope companies will
be assisting with operation of systems and specific questions regarding
instrumentation. Groups are expected to present their results on
Friday afternoon.

Lunch and dinner provided most days.

Group Leaders will include
Iain Johnson, Life Technologies
Guy Cox, EMU Sydney University
Cameron Nowell, Ludwig Cancer Research Institute, Melbourne
Sarah Ellis, Peter MacCallum Research Institute
Steve Cody, MMI AMREP Monash University
Paul Rigby, University of Western Australia

Convenor: Stephen Firth, MMI Monash University
