Dear colleagues



Please find below information about the upcoming SMLMS 2016 conference. I can personally recommend it as a great meeting focussed on all things localization microscopy, and Lake Geneva in August is hard to beat!



May I also encourage any of you who develop localization microscopy software to join the 2016 algorithm challenge, which I am co-organising, and whose results will be announced at SMLMS 2016. Training data is now available http://bigwww.epfl.ch/smlm/challenge2016, and the competition will run during July.



Best wishes

Seamus Holden



Dear colleagues,



We would like to draw your attention to the upcoming 6th Single Molecule Localization Microscopy Symposium (SMLMS), which will take place 28-30 August at the EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland. Main focus areas include development of new methods, new probes and labeling strategies, applications to biological questions, and new algorithms for data analysis.



An exciting slate of speakers is headed by keynote speakers Taekjip Ha and Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz. Additional speakers will be selected from abstract submissions. Conference registration is now open at http://smlms.epfl.ch/



SMLMS 2016 will also feature two exciting competitions:

The 2nd localization microscopy challenge, focusing on 3D and ultrahigh-density 2D software. The competition will run from April to June, with the results to be presented at SMLMS 2016. Further details can be found on the website (http://bigwww.epfl.ch/smlm/challenge2016).



The Nikon image competition, open to all attendees. Winners will receive prizes, including a D-SLR for the best image and the possibility tohave your image displayed on the Nikon website. Look for the link on our conference website to upload your submission.



Best regards,

Aleksandra Radenovic and Suliana Manley
