[FILM-Users 00524] High Content Screening
by Rothery, Stephen M 16 Sep '14

16 Sep '14

Dear All As some of you may be aware, before he left, Martin applied for funds for a High Content Screening unit. This has been successful and we are now at the stage of testing available models If anyone has an application for this type of instrument or samples they would like tested or be involved in the testing then please contact us. The following was in the original application: High-content screening (HCS) microscope with confocal modality Required specifications will include: * Brightfield and phase contrast imaging, * 5 excitation lasers for multi-parameter imaging, * Multi-channel confocal or multi-camera acquisition for high speed, * Upgrade option for temperature incubation. Projects: * Assays for phenotyping * RNAi screens aimed at dissecting actin binding proteins and Rho GTPase signalling important for stable epithelial cell-cell contacts and polarity, with impact on epithelial homeostasis and diseases. * Acquisition of high quality images in large scale * Invasion assays Bw Steve FILM - Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy ************************************************************** Steve Rothery FILM Technician Sir Alexander Fleming Building, desk 403 Imperial College London / South Kensington Exhibition Road London SW7 2AZ Tel +44-(0)207 594 9793 And ICTEM, (L-Block) Room 314 Hammersmith Campus Imperial College London Du Cane Road London, W12 0NN Tel. +44-(0)207 594 1669 E-mail s.rothery(a)imperial.ac.uk<mailto:s.rothery@imperial.ac.uk> Website: http://imperial.ac.uk/imagingfacility **************************************************************

[FILM-Users 00523] Advancing Applications of Super-Resolution Imaging
by Rothery, Stephen M 09 Sep '14

09 Sep '14

Abstract deadline extended till the 15th September Hi everyone, Just a reminder to anyone interested in attending this meeting Notice of meeting: "Advancing Applications of Super-Resolution Imaging" 10 November 2014 Charles Darwin House, London, UK ________________________________ A Biochemical Society Hot Topic Meeting in Partnership with the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council<http://www.bbsrc.ac.uk/home/home.aspx> Advances in microscopy have seen the advent of super resolution imaging, mapping single molecules down to <8 nm resolution compared with conventional light microscopy that achieves only ~250 nm. This Hot Topic Event will provide an interdisciplinary forum covering new technological developments, wider-scale applications, and potential commercialization of super resolution imaging. Topics § Single molecule studies at the plasma membrane § Super resolution imaging in 3D § 'Working small' in vivo § Future directions and applications of super-resolution imaging Proceedings (invited speakers) will be published in Biochemical Society Transactions<http://bst.portlandpress.com/>. Abstract deadline: 8 September 2014 Earlybird registration deadline: 10 October 2014 Online registration is now available<http://www.cvent.com/d/34qdhv> BBSRC Bursary application deadline: 20 October 2014 Applications for the BBSRC bursary can be made during registration. For more information please refer to the general information<http://www.biochemistry.org/Conferences/AllConferences/tabid/379/View/Gener…> section on Grants and bursaries. Oral communication slots are available at this meeting. All attendees, particularly researchers in the early stages of their career, are invited to submit a poster abstract for consideration as an oral communication. Bursaries and grants The following bursaries are available for this event: Student Bursaries <http://www.biochemistry.org/Grants/StudentBursaries.aspx> Supports the attendance of Student Members at the Society's scientific conferences. Stay Connected Bursaries<http://www.biochemistry.org/Grants/StayConnectedBursaries.aspx> Helping members to 'Stay connected' with the latest research during a career break. General Travel Grants <http://www.biochemistry.org/Grants/GeneralTravelGrants.aspx> Can be used by members to attend a scientific meeting.

Kim may have mentioned this to you already but we are organising a one day meeting with the Biochemical Society on Super-resolution imaging in November. Abstract deadline is in September and would like to ask if you can forward the attached flyer to all FILM users and if possible advertise on the FILM site? We are able to give some bursaries to students and postdocs regardless of whether they submit an abstract to attend.
