Workshop SPP 2018

Applications in epithelial morphogenesis involving at pulsed UV laser

We will introduce methods for manipulation of cells and tissues with a pulsed UV laser.
The set up consists of an inverted spinning disc microscope equipped with a 355 nm
laser. The UV laser and the imaging laser are controlled independently.

 DFG-SPP1782 Workshop

Basic introduction to proteomics“, Cologne

 

Aim: This workshop in the frame of SPP1782 will provide an overview on the strengths and pitfalls of proteomic analyses in cell biology, and will outline some typical application examples. It is tailored for beginners in this area, thus those who wonder if a proteomic approach may help them in their current SPP1782 project. A combination of lectures and hands-on training on data analysis is planned.

Date: 31.5.2017 starting noon - 1.6.2017 ~1pm

Venue: University of Cologne, CECAD Research Center, Joseph-Stelzmann-Str. 26, 50931 Cologne
