Education
CAB is involved in courses throughout the education landscape at KU from undergraduate to master- and PhD courses as well as projects.
We are always happy to give talks at conferences, seminars and meetings about microscopy methods and their use in research. Please contact the CAB staff for more information.
All students are welcome as users of the facility and will receive training and guidance in how to use the relevant method for their research question and become autonomous users. Bachelor and master students pay a reduced price for using the facility, to promote education of students.
PhD Courses
CAB hosts 3 PhD courses and additionally contributes to a cross-institutional course in collaboration with other facilities in Denmark.
Advanced Methods in Light Microscopy: This course focuses on the theory behind light microscopy. Through lectures and hands-on exercises, students gain a thorough understanding of the principles, advantages and disadvantages of individual advanced microscopic methods. Students can bring their own samples.
Biological Imaging: PhD Tool box course and master student course. This course is run together with CFIM and DanFix. The course introduces all important modalities of advanced biological and biomedical imaging using photons, electrons, X-rays and neutrons, available in the Øresund region in core facilities and at synchrotron and linear accelerators (MAX IV and ESS). For PhD students, Biological Imaging’s basic module gives the knowledge background for three Advanced Biological Imaging modules, namely X-ray Imaging, Mass Spectroscopic Imaging, and IR / Raman Imaging.
Advanced Live Cell Imaging: CABs biannual PhD Summer School runs in even years. The summer course for experienced microscopists comprises theory and show-cases on selected topics, such as Fluorescence Lifetime, Super Resolution and High Throughput Microscopy as well as live and spectral imaging. Internationally outstanding experts give key notes on these topics. It is possible for the students to bring their own specimens.
Cross Institutional Bioimaging course: The course takes place at different Danish research institutions in order to expose the students to different research groups, researchers and experimental research facilities. The course thus gives the students a unique opportunity of orienting themselves within an active and diverse field of interdisciplinary science within bioimaging. CAB hosts a session in this course organized at SDU.
User training and support
Outside of regular courses, all PhD students can receive training and become autonomous in microscopy methods relevant for their research, and in this way expand their method repertoire.
