20th Annual Advanced Imaging Methods Workshop

The CRL Molecular Imaging Center (MIC) is a shared light microscopy core at the University of California, Berkeley, specializing in state-of-the-art laser-based fluorescence techniques. The MIC offers training and expertise in 20 different microscope systems, including live cell andin vivoimaging, laser scanning (LSM) and spinning disk (SDC) confocal, multi-photon (2p), fluorescent lifetime imaging (FLIM), light-sheet microscopy (SPIM), super resolution (Airyscan), slide scanning and patterned illumination for optogenetic manipulation and readout. The MIC provides offline computer analysis workstations for image processing, visualization and analysis, including GPU workstations. The MIC is accessible to all researchers across the UC Berkeley campus, as well as non-UCB, and non-academic laboratories and companies.

Residence Inn by Marriott

The 20th Annual Advanced Imaging Methods Workshop is a 3-day event focused on new and emerging optical microscopy techniques and their applications with a special focus on time-resolved techniques hosted by the CRL Molecular Imaging Center at UC Berkeley. This workshop brings together internationally-renowned researchers in a broad variety of fields including biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, probe design, cellular biology, neuroscience, optics, metabolism and more. Past speakers have included six Nobel Laureates: Roger Tsien, WE Moerner, Stephen Hell, Eric Betzig, Steven Chu, and Carolyn Bertozzi. This year we will have sessions on fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM), neuroscience, probe development, in vivo imaging, clearing and expansion, breakout workshops on data management, and more!In addition to invited talks from leaders in the field, AIM2023 will include real lab demonstrations on campus, sponsor demonstrations, software tutorials, tours of UC Berkeley state-of-the-art imaging facilities, and a special reception at the outdoor lounge (weather permitting). This year will also bring back the popular poster session with prizes for student presenters. AIM includes gourmet lunch on-site each day, coffee breaks, and plenty of opportunities for interactions among participants.<h3>L﻿ocation</h3><a href="https://www.marriott.com/en-us/hotels/oakrr-residence-inn-berkeley/overview/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">R﻿esidence Inn by Marriott in Berkeley, California</a><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1Eq5-clO3vgYMPBwcwinngqG8AsWYIGY&amp;usp=sharing" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">A﻿IM Locations Map</a>From out of town?
