The EMBRIO Institute's 2nd Annual Summer Training Workshop Registration<https://cvent.me/04V231> 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 10th at 9am and conclude mid-day Wednesday, July 12th. 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: Students and postdocs will stay on the Notre Dame campus with dorm rooms and meals provided (lodging available starting evening of Sunday, July 9th). Faculty and outside guest instructors have the option of making a reservation at nearby hotels<https://www.visitsouthbend.com/notre-dame/hotels/?view=list&sort=qualityScore&bounds=false>. Carpool and/or shuttle transport will be organized for those traveling from Purdue campus. Please register only if you are committed to attending! Note that this workshop is limited to EMBRIO members only. Brent T.
