[FILM-Users 00197] TODAY: FILM Club April: Fränze Progatzky & Harriet Taylor - Fish tales
by Martin Spitaler 27 Apr '12

27 Apr '12

TODAY! (and mind the CHANGED LOCATION!): FRÄNZE PROGATZKY and HARRIET TAYLOR from Maggie Dallman's lab will tell you some FISH TALES - how zebrafish imaging can deliver very insights into areas outside embryo development, like immune biology and atherosclerosis. FRIDAY 27 APRIL 2012 at 1pm in ROOM G47A in the FLOWERS BUILDING (around the corner behind Biochemistry, or number 31 on the campus map <http://www.imperial.ac.uk/workspace/campusinfo/public/sthkencampus.pdf> ====================================================================== Dear microscopists, we are back with our FILM Club this month, and it's going to be very interesting again: FRÄNZE PROGATZKY and HARRIET TAYLOR from Maggie Dallman's lab will tell you some FISH TALES - how zebrafish imaging can deliver very insights into areas outside embryo development, like immune biology and atherosclerosis. Most people know that zebrafish (Danio rerio) has been used for a long time to study embryo development - also here in the facility, to study the vascularisation of the eye (Mariya Moosaje) or skeletal muscle (Christina Therapontos). But not everybody is aware of the fact that this small, transparent organism is also excellent to study a whole range of other things - what other organism allows you for example to observe single cells move around the whole body, or the deposition of cholesterol in real time? The FILM Club will take place on FRIDAY 27 APRIL 2012 at 1pm in ROOM G47A in the FLOWERS BUILDING (different location this time!!!). Don't miss out. And a pre-announcement: As in previous years, on the last Friday of June we will the FILM MICROSCOPY DAY 2012 - this year with a special twist: We will have a Microscopy Match Maker session, where all of our users are invited to give a 2-minute snapshot of their work. This will be followed by a poster session over lunch, to invite discussions and new collaborations. All FILM users (or other microscopists) are encouraged to participate - supervisors, ask your students and postdocs to do so, this is a unique networking opportunity! A preliminary programme is on the FILM website under NEWS (an update will follow soon) <http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/portal/page/portallive/imagingfacility/news> Good imaging, Martin ================================== -- 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 Website: http://imperial.ac.uk/imagingfacility

Prof Mark R Henkelman, University of Toronto “Genes into Geometry; Imaging for Mouse Phenotyping” 4pm 25th April Royal School of Mines room 2.28 All welcome Genes into Geometry: Imaging for Mouse Phenotyping Genetically identical inbred strains of mice have remarkably similar anatomical patterning with the spatial variance in the brain limited to only 100 microns. Genetic changes, even when they are very small, frequently result in changes in the geometric patterning. Three-dimensional imaging methods can be used effectively to map anatomical patterning in wild type and genetic disease models in mice. Combined with precise quantitative statistical analysis, geometric differences can be identified and used to map phenotypic abnormalities. The methodology for this kind of analysis will be described using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, computed tomography (CT), ultrasound (US), and optical projection tomography (OPT). Example applications, mainly from neurosciences, will be presented including neuroplasticity in learning and memory, disease models such as Huntington’s disease, schizophrenia and Autism Spectrum Disorders. A mouse model of aortic plaque caused by disturbed flow will also be presented. http://www.sickkids.ca/AboutSickKids/Directory/People/H/Mark-Henkelman.html -- "There are only 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't" Prof. C.
