4D Advanced Microscopy of Brain Circuits Course – permanently on hold
A collaborative effort between the CRL-Molecular Imaging Center, the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, UC Berkeley faculty and graduate students, and Zeiss Microscopy, the inaugural 4D Advanced Microscopy in Brain Circuits course, held from January 10-15, 2016, was a huge success! Sixteen students from around the country participated in lectures and hands-on labs where they had access to state-of-the-art instruments.
4DAMBC is currently on hold.
Please contact brainmic@berkeley.edu for more information.
The 2017 course was May 21-27, 2017. More information here: official course website.
