Train the Trainers

September 23rd to October 5th, 2024

UT Southwestern Medical Center
Dallas, TX

This intensive two-week workshop is designed to equip staff in select academic microscopy core facilities to adopt CCSA’s technologies for imaging and analyzing cellular signal transduction and transfer the know-how to their user groups. The workshop will feature in depth interactive lectures on the background of the technologies and extensive hands-on lab sessions that demonstrate the capabilities and challenges of the current states of the technologies. The goal of this program is to open a long-term bi-directional dialogue between technology developers, disseminators, and appliers that will empower the cell biology research community.
