Course overview
Cell biology is undergoing a transformative shift, driven by advances in single-molecule imaging, in situ structural biology, and quantitative live-cell microscopy. Breakthroughs in AI-based image analysis have further accelerated discovery, generating vast, high-dimensional datasets that reveal unprecedented details of cellular organization and dynamics. Yet, these developments bring new challenges in experimental design, data integration, and interpretation.
This course will adopt a systems-level, holistic approach to these challenges, offering cutting-edge, hands-on training in advanced imaging, quantitative analysis, and complementary biophysical methods. Expert instructors will guide participants in selecting and combining techniques to move beyond the limitations of individual approaches to better understand complex cellular processes. By bringing together participants from diverse scientific backgrounds, the course will foster interdisciplinary collaboration and critical thinking. It will equip early-career scientists with the tools and perspectives needed to fully harness recent innovations and contribute to the next wave of discoveries in cell biology.
What past participants say about the course
