Time and Location

8am - 5pm, June 27 - 28, 2013

OHSU Old Library Auditorium3181 SW Sam Jackson Park RoadPortland, OR 97239

 

Presentations and Guest Speakers

Presentations and discussions will focus on imaging cellular systems in four dimensions (4D), novel tools and probes for imaging, super-resolution microscopy (SRM), and electron microscopy.

Outside experts will share their research programs with the community. The following guest speakers will be in attendance:

• Dr. Eric Betzig (Janelia Farm)Imaging Life at High Spatiotemporal Resolution
• Dr. Alan Gara (Intel)Exascale Computing and Biomedical Research
• Dr. Alice Ting (MIT)Mapping proteomes and imaging proteins with enzyme-based reporters in living cells
• Dr. Alan Waggoner (CMU)Fluorescent biosensors for cell regulation pathways
• Dr. Roger Wepf (ETH - EMEZ)3D Correlative Light and Scanning Electron Microscopy

Other talks will be presented by researchers from OHSU, Portland State University (PSU), Reed, FEI, and Life Technologies. Discussions will focus on how advanced imaging methods have transformed our understanding of different cellular systems, including cancer cells, neurons, and pathogenic bacteria.
