This 5-day course offers to the participants a light microscopy course focusing on fluorescence microscopy techniques applied to the detection of proteins and glycans in tissue samples and cell cultures. Proteins are a direct product of genes, while glycan synthesis does not require a template. Together proteins and glycans are key elements that contribute to the cellular and organismal diversity and provide the substrate for evolution. The course integrates theoretical lectures (~50%) with hands-on experiments, practical experience at the microscope and image analysis sessions (~50%), focused on cell biological studies.

Course dates: February 13th, 2023 to February 17th, 2023
