Imaging Latin America

An All-expenses-paid Microscopy and Image Analysis Workshop
for Latin American Researchers

Location: Institut Pasteur de Montevideo, Uruguay

Course Dates: September 17-22, 2022

Application Deadline: May 15, 2022

This 6-day workshop is offered the Advanced Bioimaging Unit at the Institut Pasteur de Montevideo in partnership with the Advanced Imaging Center at HHMI - Janelia Research Campus. 

 

With an emphasis on hypothesis-driven experimental design tailored for the regional research interests, students will learn how to properly devise and execute microscopy experiments to quantitively test complex biological questions.

The expenses of Imaging Latin America are entirely covered for all attendees.
