Course Registration
Welcome to the "Imaging infection: from single molecules to animals" course registration form.
This practical course is aimed at Ph.D. as well as post-doctoral students from universities and research institutes.
Some basic requirements of the course are a background in any of the following: biology, molecular or cell biology, biochemistry, genetics, developmental biology, microbiology, biophysics or other related areas. Prior exposure to imaging and microscopy will be essential. Preference will be given to students who have an immediate use for the techniques covered in the course in their own research at their home institutions.
Participation in the course is limited to 16 students and is by competitive selection. Registration fee is € 250 (€ 1000 for participants from industry) but can be waved for students from resource poor institutions. In addition one or two travel scholarships will be available to accepted applicants. Inquiries for waivers and scholarships should be sent by interested applicants once they are accepted.
