Bootcamp Courses provide an opportunity for scientific training and career development for research scientists at all career stages. Through a combination of instructional lectures from internal and external faculty experts and hands-on experimentation using state-of-the-art equipment, participants can expect to leave Janelia with new knowledge, ideas, connections and even collaborators.
Hosted by Teng-Leong Chew and Rachel Lee, this 2-week bootcamp course is designed to demonstrate how biological queries and hypotheses steer experimental designs on various microscopy platforms and across length scales from molecules to small animals.
Participants will receive didactic instruction and hands-on experience with localization super-resolution microscopy, structured illumination microscopy, STED, pixel-reassignment methods for enhanced resolution, expansion microscopy, and various light sheet microscopy methods. Participatory lab sessions will be conducted with biological samples from single cells to various model organisms, on commercial instruments as well as pre-commercial instruments developed at Janelia, including iPALM, MOSAIC, and SiMView. The course will put a strong emphasis on image processing and quantitative analyses using open source software, as well as proper methods for handling big data.
