MicRoN mission focuses on providing education and training in light microscopy, from basic to more advanced techniques and data analysis. We believe that educating, supporting and fostering a collaborative environment between departments, empower trainees to make conscious decisions when preparing microscopy experiments, resulting in more rigorous and reproducible science, and provides them with new skillsets that they can use in their next adventures. 

 

MicRoN Data Club

The MicRoN Data Club is an informal, discussion-based meeting focusing on imaging and analysis approaches, fostering learning and collaboration between trainees in the departments on Immunology, Microbiology and Genetics and MicRoN core trainees. Formal presentations are not needed, nor a complete story, only your enthusiasm and curiosity. This is meant to foster a fun and collaborative environment to discuss with MicRoN staff and your peers about you light microscopy and analysis.

CellProfiler Workshops

MicRoN hosted 2 workshops in August on CellProfiler (Rebecca Senft and Barbara Diaz-Roherer from the Cimini Lab at the Broad Institute will lead the workshops)

1. Introduction to CellProfiler

2. Using CellPose and StarDist in CellProfiler

 

 

Coming soon! MicRoN Nanocourses

MicRoN is organizing several Nanocourses for this Summer/Fall/Spring

1. Quantitative Microscopy and Data Analysis: This nanocourse will focus on general concepts on Quantitative Microscopy and what kind of information can be extracted from your microscopy data. 

2. Imaging Microbes: Anyone who knows me understands my love for bacteria. There is a ton of interesting imaging techniques that will enhance your understanding on the cellular biology of bacteria and other microbes, including host-pathogen interactions. In this nanocourse we will focus on 

3. Rigor and reproducibility in microscopy: Did you know your images are numbers? Do you understand the impact your sample and the microscopy you use have on data interpretation? Come and learn about experimental design and how to carry out rigorous and reproducible imaging!

4. Hands-on Multiphoton microscopy: Learn general and practical concepts on multiphoton microscopy.
