The EMBRIO Institute's 2^nd Annual Summer Training Workshop Registration is now open! The hard deadline to register is June 19th. Please register only if you are committed to attending!

Hosted by Dr. Jeremiah Zartman at the University of Notre Dame with a theme of Image Acquisition, Processing, and Analysis, tutorials and hands-on sessions are specifically aimed at benefiting trainees from both computational and experimental domains. Sessions will begin Monday, July 10^th at 9am and conclude mid-day Wednesday, July 12^th.  

Goals of the Workshop: 

• Participants will increase their capacity to connect and converse with each other across the experimental and computational disciplines. 
• Participants will increase their knowledge, know-how, and confidence using image acquisition, processing, and analysis modalities crucial for advancing research outcomes in the Institute. 
• Participants will deepen their connections and broaden their personal networks within the Institute. 
  
  
   
  Primary Sessions (will include tutorials and hands-on): 

• Unit 1: Dr. Sara Cole (Notre Dame) - Microscopy basics, sample preparation, and data acquisition, w/ planned session on using a light sheet microscope
   
• Unit 2: Professor Krishna Jayant and Lab (Purdue) - Fundamentals of image processing, including in-depth sessions on calcium signaling
  
  
  
• Unit 3: Professor Gregory Reeves (TAMU) - Raster image correlation spectroscopy (RICS). RICS is a new and novel technique for measuring molecular dynamics and concentrations from fluorescence confocal images.
  
  
  
• Unit 4: Dr. Scott Howard (Notre Dame) - Super resolution microscopy techniques and tools
  
  
  
• Unit 5: Professor Elsje Pienaar (Purdue) – Data-driven model calibration 
  
  Detailed workshop itinerary available soon. 
  
  
  
  Logistics:
