Fluorescence Markers for Advanced Microscopy: From Photophysics to Biology

A French-German WE-Heraeus seminar on the development and use of fluorescent markers for advanced fluorescence methods, combining photophysics, chemistry and biology. The event features interdisciplinary discussions and courses aimed at transferring knowledge to participants' laboratories. It targets current issues such as selection of fluorescent markers, their photophysical properties, and related artefacts. The seminar intends to make participants aware of new developments in the field to prepare them for future breakthroughs.

Participants will acquire theoretical and practical knowledge of current staining and labeling techniques through interdisciplinary discussion and courses.

The seminar is aimed at PhD students and young scientists as well as research engineers and experienced researchers exploring new areas.
