About this Event

This workshop is articulated in two parts: Theory lectures in the morning and Hands-on session in the afternoon.

Theory lectures will cover the following topics (circa 3 hrs, at the D-BSSE room D65.2):

• Sample preparation (Histology): good practice and pitfalls

• Sample preparation (Fluorescence): Tips and Pitfalls

Hands-on rotations will cover:

• Immunostainings on cryosections
• Immunostainings on adherent cells
  For participation in the hands-on session, registration is required, and the presence in the theory sessions is mandatory. Please note that for the theory lectures only, registration is not required.

• Registration with a professional email address is mandatory (e.g., @unibas.ch, @fmi.ch, @iob.ch, @psi.ch, @ethz.ch).
• The hands-on session is free of charge; however, a no-show fee of 50 CHF will apply if you do not cancel at least 24 hours in advance.
