St Andrews Biophotonics Summer School 2025
The Centre of Biophotonics has launched the second edition of the Summer School in Biophotonics. From the 23rd to the 27th of June around 30 participants from Scotland, North England, Germany and Italy have attended the school that was mainly focused on state-of-the-art imaging modalities covering from single-molecules to cells and tissue. The school was organized by Dr Paolo Annibale and Prof Carlos Penedo and primarly as a hands-on experience with introductory lectures from 9.00 to 11.00 which were followed by intensive experimental modules for small groups (4-5 people). Each module was delivered by leading experts in their respective areas and all within a relax atmosphere with opportunities for netwoking. The school targets mostly post-graduate students, post-doctoral and early career researchers across the physics and life sciences with an interest in cutting-edge microscopy.
We would like to thank Dr Juan Varela, Dr John Danial, Prof Andrea di Falco, Dr Graham Bruce and Dr Marcus Bischoff for assisting with the organization and developing the different modules and theory sessions. Big thanks also to all PhD and PDRAs members of the CoB that helped to develop and deliver the hands-on experiments.
The summer school has a limited number of spaces: 40.
