Hi all

A reminder that our workshop on single molecule imaging is  in March and registrations is still open!
We look froward to welcoming people to Birmingham for 2


COMPARE Workshop on Single-Molecule Imaging and Spectroscopy of Membrane Proteins
March 12th – 13th 2019
University of Birmingham
United Kingdom

Dear all,

We are very pleased to announce our 2019 COMPARE Workshop, which this year will focus on Single-Molecule Imaging & Spectroscopy of Membrane Proteins.

Single-molecule microscopy and spectroscopy are very powerful techniques that allow investigating the organization and dynamics of membrane proteins in cells and tissues with unpreceded spatiotemporal resolution. This workshop will bring together world leaders in single-molecule imaging and spectroscopy to focus on key questions about the spatiotemporal organization of receptors and other signalling proteins in nanodomains on the plasma membrane.

A first day of talks covering both recent exciting biological findings and new methodological developments will be followed on day two by unique practical sessions. These will include in-depth demonstrations of cutting-edge single-molecule microscopy and spectroscopy techniques in collaboration with leading microscopy vendors as well as of new open source software for the analysis of spectroscopy and single-molecule data.

Preliminary Programme
Day 1 of the workshop will consist of talks by leading researchers in the single molecule field and related company techno-bites.

Confirmed speakers
Stephen Briddon    (University of Nottingham)
Susan Cox    (Kings College London)
Sian Culley    (University College London)
Juliette Griffie    (EFPL)
Benjamin Compans    (Kings College London)
Florian Levet    (University of Bordeaux)
Emmanuel Margeat    (Montpellier)
Carlo Manzo    (Universitat de Vic)
Jean-Baptiste Masson     (Institute Pasteur)
Annemiek van Spriel    (Radboud Institute for Molecular Life Sciences)

Techno-bites from NIKON, ZEISS, CAIRN, ONI, BRUKER, PHOTOMETRICS and ABBELIGHT.

Day 2 will allow attendees to see the systems in action, discuss with companies possible applications and opportunities for the microscopes in their research.
