[FILM-Users 00347] Definiens training course
by Martin Spitaler 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

Dear microscopists, I'm very pleased to let you know that we have recently been successful with an application for the College's "equipment sharing grant", and part of of the money will pay towards two training courses for the powerful Definiens Developer XD software, one for beginners and one for advanced users. This will mean that both training courses will be available at a subsidised rate of probably ~£200-300 per participants (rates still need to be finalised, also dependent on the number of participants). Many of you have already used the Definiens software for a range of challenging image analysis tasks, from finding vesicles in noisy confocal images to identifying cells in 3D datasets, multi-parameter analysis of muscle fibres to immunological synapses. The power of the software lies in the easy access to a large range of professional image analysis and computer vision tools - with full control of all parameters - and in a dedicated architecture for large-scale batch processing (the largest dataset so far consisted of >30,000 images). It also contains tools for cell tracking, fuzzy logics and machine learning, which might be covered in the advanced course - this will depend on user demand. Please let me know if you are interested in attending either of the two training courses. And if you are not sure - if there is enough interest to learn more about the software, we could use the May FILM Club (31st of May) to give you an overview, based on projects in FILM. Good imaging, Martin PS: other improvements covered by the Equipment Sharing Grant are upgrades to our Widefield 2 microscope (64bit computer to deal with larger data files for live imaging, RGB camera for histological sections) and a new data processing server, which will allow processing of much larger datasets -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Martin Spitaler, PhD* *FILM - Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy* - Facility Manager - Sir Alexander Fleming Building, desk 401 Imperial College London / South Kensington Exhibition Road London SW7 2AZ UK Tel. +44-(0)20-759-42023 E-mail m.spitaler(a)imperial.ac.uk <mailto:m.spitaler@imperial.ac.uk> Website: http://imperial.ac.uk/imagingfacility

29 Jul '13

Dear microscopists, Birgit Leitinger is interested in buying the constructs for mNeonGreen, a fluorescent protein described recently in Nature Methods as particularly bright and also monomeric (http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/v10/n5/full/nmeth.2413.html) However, the company (http://www.allelebiotech.com/mneongreen) have an unusual licensing strategy, to individual labs - if enough labs are interested, the costs would go down from $600 to $100 per lab. Please let us know if this would be interesting for you. Good imaging, Martin *From: *Abbas Hussain <abbashussain(a)allelebiotech.com <mailto:abbashussain@allelebiotech.com>> *Date: *Wednesday, 22 May 2013 23:49 *To: *"Leitinger, Birgit" <b.leitinger(a)imperial.ac.uk <mailto:b.leitinger@imperial.ac.uk>> *Subject: *mNeonGreen Licensing Dear Birgit, Thank you for contacting us regarding mNeonGreen. The price for a single basic license is $300, and for the single advanced license it’s $600. Unfortunately we cannot accommodate a partial department, but if you can get the whole department on board it’s $100 per lab. Additionally, if you pay $600 now, and in a few months the department goes for the group license we can credit the $600 back to you. For ordering you can place the order on our website or call it in. You mentioned a quote in your email, do you know which option you would like it for, or did you need two separate quotes (one for each option)? Please let me know what I can do/provide you with to help you move forward in this process. Additionally if you have any questions please feel free to let me know.

Heart structure and function are tightly interrelated in ways that we are still discovering. Cardiac muscle hosts a multitude of complex regulatory mechanisms that allow the heart to perform even after transplantation into another body and multiple feedback mechanisms provide the heart with an astonishing ability to adapt to the body's constantly changing demand in blood circulation. This happens during every heartbeat and roughly a million times during every ten-day period of our life. Given the importance of cardiac activity, it is surprising how many aspects of the heart are still poorly understood. This lecture will show that linking scientific observations of structure and function from sub-cellular scales to the whole body is essential in driving fundamental research and clinical application. imap://mspitale@exchange.imperial.ac.uk:993/fetch%3EUID%3E/INBOX%3E170250?part=1.5&filename=image004.jpg Peter Kohl holds the Chair in Cardiac Biophysics and Systems Biology at Imperial's National Heart and Lung Institute. He also is a visiting professor at the Department for Computer Science at the University of Oxford. Peter studied Medicine and Biophysics at the Moscow Pirogov Institute and after post-graduate training and research at the Berlin Charité he joined the Cardiac Electrophysiology Chair of Professor Denis Noble at the University of Oxford. In 1998, Peter set up the Oxford Cardiac Mechano-Electric Feedback lab, initially as a Royal Society Research Fellow and subsequently as a Senior Fellow of the British Heart Foundation. Peter's team enjoys a strong international reputation in cardiac mechano-electrical interaction studies as a result of their ability to cross traditional boundaries between fields (engineering, biophysics, biology, computing) and levels (ion channel to whole organ) of investigation. Peter directs a portfolio of externally-funded research (supported by ERC, BHF, BBSRC, EPSRC and EC), and he has been a driver of international collaborations such as the Network of Excellence for the EU Virtual Physiological Human Initiative. He serves on a number of editorial boards, as a reviewer for international journals and funding bodies and is the coordinating editor of the primary textbook on /Cardiac Mechano-Electric Coupling and Arrhythmias/. imap://mspitale@exchange.imperial.ac.uk:993/fetch%3EUID%3E/INBOX%3E170250?part=1.6&filename=image005.gif imap://mspitale@exchange.imperial.ac.uk:993/fetch%3EUID%3E/INBOX%3E170250?part=1.7&filename=image006.gif*Contact |* <mailto:events@imperial.ac.uk> imap://mspitale@exchange.imperial.ac.uk:993/fetch%3EUID%3E/INBOX%3E170250?part=1.7&filename=image006.gif *Campus Map |* <http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/campusinfo> imap://mspitale@exchange.imperial.ac.uk:993/fetch%3EUID%3E/INBOX%3E170250?part=1.7&filename=image006.gif *Coming to an Event * <http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/events/comingtoanevent> Stay informed with more Imperial College London News and Events: imap://mspitale@exchange.imperial.ac.uk:993/fetch%3EUID%3E/INBOX%3E170250?part=1.7&filename=image006.gif Events e-Bulletin | <http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/communications/bulletin> imap://mspitale@exchange.imperial.ac.uk:993/fetch%3EUID%3E/INBOX%3E170250?part=1.7&filename=image006.gif News e-Bulletin | <http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/media/dailynewsdigest> imap://mspitale@exchange.imperial.ac.uk:993/fetch%3EUID%3E/INBOX%3E170250?part=1.7&filename=image006.gif RSS Feeds | <http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/college/aboutthissite/rss> imap://mspitale@exchange.imperial.ac.uk:993/fetch%3EUID%3E/INBOX%3E170250?part=1.7&filename=image006.gif Online Lectures | <http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/college/media/onlinelectures> imap://mspitale@exchange.imperial.ac.uk:993/fetch%3EUID%3E/INBOX%3E170250?part=1.7&filename=image006.gif Monthly Podcast | <http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/college/media/podcasts> imap://mspitale@exchange.imperial.ac.uk:993/fetch%3EUID%3E/INBOX%3E170250?part=1.7&filename=image006.gif Reporter | <http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/reporter> imap://mspitale@exchange.imperial.ac.uk:993/fetch%3EUID%3E/INBOX%3E170250?part=1.7&filename=image006.gif Imperial Twitter <http://twitter.com/imperialcollege>

As part of its Centenary, the Medical Research Council has joined forces with the Royal Society and Wikimedia UK to present a series of Women in Science Wikipedia edit-a-thons through the rest of 2013. Building on the highly successful group 'Edit-a-thon' that the Royal Society and Wikimedia UK ran as part of Ada Lovelace Day to improve Wikipedia articles about women in science in October 2012, 6 events are planned across the UK with the first being MRC National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR), Mill Hill London on Thursday 25th July to celebrate Rosalind Franklin’s birthday. Further events are planned in London, Cambridge and Edinburgh. These free events are open to people who are new to Wikipedia and experienced Wikipedia editors. Female editors are particularly encouraged to attend. Drawing on resources from the MRC, The Royal Society, Wellcome Trust and National Library of Scotland, the events will have access to a rich collection of printed and electronic works about women in science, including biographies and works authored by scientists. At each event the location's librarians will explain more about the collections and provide guidance on finding sources. Additionally, as part of each Edit-a-thon there will be a panel discussion led by eminent female scientists on women's experiences in science, and diversity in the scientific workforce more generally, together with how underrepresentation can be tackled in the future. The panel discussion at NIMR on 25^th July will be led by Professor Dame Athene Donald.
