Education

Professional use of microscopes is integrated in the Biology-Biotechnology education at the University of Copenhagen.

Undergraduate Courses:

Studends experience a progression in skills when having the mandatory courses Cell Biology, Basic Plant Biology and the thematic course Experimental Molecular Biology.

Master projects:

The co-applicants of the CAB proposal (see People) offer Master projects at their respective departments. All supervisors of Master projects at the Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen, may request training of their Master students, if imaging is to be part of the project.  

PhD Courses:

CAB offers PhD and MSc courses on theory and with hands-on of the imaging techniques available at this and other imaging facilities, such as CFIM and DanFix. In 2024 you will find four choices to pick: 

  • "Biological Imaging" (twice a week) from 22nd April to 19th June 2024. It is relevant for PhD and Master students who want to use imaging in their projects. More info and enrolment for MSc students here and for PhD students here.
  • "Hands-on TEM and SEM of eukaryotic cells" from 22nd April to 8th Maj 2024 (2-week course). This hands-on PhD course allows the students to learn to process and analyse their own samples for TEM and SEM. More info and enrolment for PhD students you will find here.
  • Our famous Summer Course (link): 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 high speed live and spectral imaging. Internationally outstanding experts will give key notes on these topics. It will be possible for the students to bring their own specimens, if suitable for the chosen techniques and agreed upon (please indicate your interest at the latest end of May). Part of the summer course is the annual meeting of the Danish Bioimaging network with opportunity to present posters or talks.
  • The modular course Advanced Methods in Microscopy spans theory, hands-on and  training at all types of research microscopes. The course covers all biologically relevant methods in microscopy and presents their theoretical background as well as the practical control of the instruments. Preparations methods and training at the instruments is included. The course is structured in modules related to the different instruments and methods. Students interested in the course can freely choose the appropriate module(s).
