Strasbourg: Principles of Imaging for Membrane systems

Dates: 30 November – 3 December 2015
Location: Institut Charles Sadron (23, Rue de Loess, 67034, Strasbourg, France)

Core training courses will cover such topics as methodology, models, and statistical estimation and hypothesis tests. Essential background and computational models for modelling lipid bilayers and their interactions with nano-objects will also be provided.

Given the large differences in background between experimental and theoretical/computational ESRs, training courses will aim to highlight these two areas at different levels.

Principles of imaging for membrane systems

Courses will be given by senior academics in Strasbourg. A three days introduction to theoretical and experimental aspects of optical and fluorescence microscopy, and related digital image treatment, introduction to cryo-TEM (transmission electron microscopy) applied to liposomal systems, introduction to neutron and X-rays reflectivity techniques on supported bilayers.

Invited speakers

• Alan Brisson (CBMN, Bordeaux)
• Patrick Schultz (IGBMC, Strasbourg)
• Yves Mely (Strasbourg University, Strasbourg)
• Pascal Didier (Strasbourg University, Strasbourg)
• Jerome Mutterer (IBMP, CNRS, Strasbourg)
• Olivier Haeberle (MIPS, Mulhouse)
