MIC Meetings & Short Courses

The MIC organizes two major events: the Advanced Imaging Methods Workshop and the 4D Advanced Microscopy of Brain Circuits Course.

The 17th Annual Advanced Imaging Methods Workshop will be

January 29 – 31, 2020

AIM is a 3-day conference focused on new and emerging optical microscopy techniques and their applications with a special focus on time-resolved techniques. This workshop brings together internationally-renowned researchers in a wide variety of fields, including biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, probe design, cellular biology, neuroscience, optics, and more. Past speakers have included 5 Nobel Laureates: Roger Tsien, WE Moerner, Stephen Hell, Eric Betzig, and Steven Chu.

The 16th Annual Advanced Imaging Methods Workshop was held January 30 – February 1, 2019. Info here: http://www.ereg.me/AIM2019

AIM is sponsored by Becker-Hickl, Boston Electronics, and Zeiss Microscopy.

4D Advanced Microscopy of Brain Circuits Course

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.
