About the course

Thanks to the exceptional perspectives of Electron Microscopy an increasing number of molecular events are being positioned and understood within their detailed cellular context. Additionally, the possibility to investigate the molecular aspects of living matter at high resolution has recently come into reach thanks to Cryo-electron Microscopy

This Advanced Course addresses early stage researchers and young scientists, exposing them the most advanced ultrastructural methods and techniques applied to the different branches of life sciences. The Course final aim is to advance the participants’ understanding on the potentials of Electron Microscopy as a new essential tool for their research.
