Course overview

The course is designed to equip participants with both practical and hands-on skills in Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy (CLEM) in both room temperature and cryogenic conditions and provide a solid theoretical foundation. These advanced imaging modalities enable researchers to precisely locate structures of interest unambiguously within cellular ultrastructures. Such techniques were refined at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and are still developed and applied here regularly.

Recognizing the increasing demand for in situ CLEM applications, the training is geared towards enabling attendees to create customized CLEM workflows to address their unique research questions and share this knowledge within their institutions. Our course delves into the specifics of these methods, emphasizing high-precision localization and cutting edge sample preparation techniques. Furthermore, it offers significant interaction with CLEM and EM experts, facilitating rich discussions and troubleshooting sessions. This ensures that participants not only learn the methodology but also gain insightful, actionable guidance to apply CLEM techniques effectively in their research endeavors. Networking activities will ensure an overall community strengthening environment.

What past participants say about the course

“The course provided an excellent balance of theory and hands-on training in CLEM, with expert guidance and valuable networking opportunities. I feel much more confident in applying these techniques to my research” – Deniz Başöz, Acibadem University, Turkey

“Fantastic course and trainers, would absolutely recommend it to anyone wanting to do CLEM, at any level of experience. It’s so comprehensive that you leave with the confidence you can apply everything you’ve seen to your own experiments.” – Emanuel Fertig, Victor Babes National Institute of Pathology, Romania

“The course was outstanding. There is lots of practical information and opportunity to talk with the trainers. I learned a lot of new workflows that I can bring to my home institution and directly apply. Thank you for having me!” – Gerben de Zwaan, Wageningen University and Research, The Netherlands
