20th Annual Advanced Imaging Methods Workshop

The Advanced Imaging Methods Workshop is a 3-day event focused on new and emerging optical microscopy techniques and their applications with a special focus on time-resolved techniques hosted by the CRL Molecular Imaging Center. This workshop brings together internationally-renowned researchers in a wide variety of fields, including biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, probe design, cellular biology, neuroscience, optics, and more. Past speakers have included 6 Nobel Laureates: Roger Tsien, WE Moerner, Stephen Hell, Eric Betzig, Steven Chu, and Carolyn Bertozzi.

In addition to invited talks from leaders in the field, AIM also includes vendor tables, real lab demonstrations on campus, and a tour of UC Berkeley state-of-the-art imaging facilities. This year will also include a poster session and an evening reception, as well as lunch on-site, coffee breaks, and plenty of time for interactions among participants.
