Dear Colleagues, Happy New Year to all.
We are asking for your assistance to promote the 2018 Xenopus Course at Cold Spring Harbor. The Xenopus course at CSH has a long tradition of training the next generation of Xenopus researchers in critical skills to exploit Xenopus for understanding cell and developmental biology.
In order for students to get the most out of the course, we encourage students to bring their own projects. Students are encouraged to identify genes of interest, we will design sgRNAs for these genes, and then students can knock these genes out at the course and analyze any phenotypes using all of the tools available from advanced high-speed fluorescent confocal imaging to cut-and-paste embryology.
In addition, we have the good fortune of overlapping with the Quantitative Imaging (QI) course at CSH. We plan to build interactions between our groups to image Xenopus embryos using the latest imaging methods. This was a huge success last year and offers the possibility to try light-sheet, high-speed live confocal, and super-resolution imaging methods.
Important Dates: Course - April 4-17, 2018 Application Due Date: January 31, 2018
We have an exciting list of speakers/instructors including:
Ira Blitz, University of California, Irvine Sang-Wook Cha, Cincinnati Childrens Hospital Medical Center Frank Conlon, University of North Carolina Chenbei Chang, University of Alabama Lance Davidson, University of Pittsburgh Roberto Mayor, University College London Rebecca Heald, University of California, Berkeley Raymond Keller, University of Virginia Bill Bement, University of Wisconsin-Madison Gerald Thomsen, Stony Brook University John Wallingford, University of Texas at Austin Andrea Wills, University of Washington Frank Conlon, University of North Carolina Peter Nemes, University of Maryland
