This is a 1-day conference with great opportunities for post-docs and students (and others!) to present in a friendly environment. There will be talks, posters, workshops and a trade exhibition. We will be running an Image Competition in advance of the Symposium and we will also be presenting our annual award to the Scottish Microscopist of the Year.
The Keynote Speaker, Sponsored by Echo, will be Professor Sally Lowell from the University of Edinburgh. Professor Lowell is a developmental biologist who has developed novel tools to study how cells influence their neighbours.
There will be plenty of chance to interact with trade, with technobites from leading microscopy vendors, and facility managers from different universities around Scotland will be available to give you more information on the microscopes and techniques available in Scotland.
Registration is via Eventbrite, and if you wish to submit an abstract for a talk or a poster, please don’t forget to do that (at the bottom of the page) once you have registered.
Submission for oral abstracts closes on Wednesday 30th October 2024. Poster abstract submission, along with general Registration, closes on Friday 15th November 2024.
