[3dem] UK hands-on workshop on Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy- 21st -25th September 2015 at the Francis Crick Institute, London,

[Raffaella Carzaniga]

Dear All,

We are delighted to announce a UK hands-on workshop on 'Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy'.

The workshop will take place from Monday 21st to Friday 25th September 2015 at the Francis Crick Institute, Lincoln's Inn Fields Laboratories,  London, WC2A 3LY.

The workshop is organised by Raffa Carzaniga, Lucy Collinson and Paul Verkade, and will take place in alternate years with the European EMBO CLEM course in Bristol (next course in July 2016), enabling us to train more of the UK community in a wide range of CLEM techniques. The workshop will include detailed hands-on tutorials for 8-10 participants organised into groups of 2 people per tutor to maximise hands-on time, covering high pressure freezing and freeze substitution; preservation of fluorescence in-resin for integrated microscopy; plunge freezing, cryofluorescence and cryoEM; Tokuyasu cryosectioning and immunolabelling for correlative experiments; and 3D CLEM using Serial Block Face SEM.

A full programme will follow shortly. In the meantime, if you are interested in registering for the course, please contact Raffa Carzaniga (Raffaella.Carzaniga at crick.ac.uk<mailto:Raffaella.carzaniga at cancer.org.uk>). Priority will be given to UK applicants, and acceptance will be based on a brief CV and a short explanation of how the applicant will apply the technologies from the workshop in their own project(s). Registration is free and includes refreshments, but participants should support their own travel and accommodation expenses.

Please note that registration will close on Thursday, 20th August.   We will confirm registration no later than Friday, 4th September 2015.

Best wishes,
The organising committee
(Raffa Carzaniga, Paul Verkade and Lucy Collinson)
