The “Principles and Applications of Fluorescence Microscopy” course, run by David DiGregorio, Gael Moneron and Jost Enninga, will take place from February 22 to March 4 at the Institut Pasteur Teaching Center.

Following on from the course, the Education Department will be running a symposium on the same topic on Tuesday March 8, 2016, with the course directors. This event will include a series of seminars to explore the latest technological developments in fluorescence microscopy. The symposium, which will take place in the auditorium of the François Jacob building, represents a unique opportunity to hear from the leading experts in fluorescence microscopy about their latest research findings. It is open to all scientists on campus. The event is free but prior registration is required.

To coincide with this event, various companies will also be invited to display their state-of-the-art technological equipment with demonstrations in the Teaching Center. 15 companies have accepted the invitation to come and present their technology.
