Fundamentals of light microscopy and image processing


4th – 15th November 2024 | ITQB NOVA | Oeiras

Fundamentals of light microscopy and image processing is a 2 weeks course focused on the application of fluorescence microscopy in molecular and cellular microbiology and infection biology. 

This course will pass on basic concepts and practical training in conventional epifluorescence,  confocal microscopy and super-resolution microscopy. Trainees will learn principles of sample preparation and advanced applications in fluorescence microscopy (FRET, FLIM and FRAP). 

Through a combination of theoretical presentations and interactive coding sessions, trainees will learn methods of image analysis and machine learning. These concepts and tools will be applied in small group projects in interaction with the trainers.

PRR Support

This course is supported by European funds under the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) of the Portuguese Republic, following the approval of the “CIVIC and GLOBAL” project of Universidade NOVA de Lisboa (RE – C06.i03.03 – Impulso Adultos).

The Recovery and Resilience Plan is a nationally applicable programme. The Plan will implement a set of reforms and investments aimed at restoring sustained economic growth, supporting the goal of convergence with Europe over the next decade.

The European Union, faced with the serious impacts of the pandemic on European economies, has created Next Generation EU, a strategic instrument to mitigate the economic and social impact of the crisis; this is capable of promoting economic convergence and resilience, helping to ensure long-term sustainable growth and meeting the challenges of the transition to a greener and more digital society. The Recovery and Resilience Mechanism has been developed on the basis of this instrument, and the RRP fits into this framework.

The RRP is an investment plan for all Portuguese people, based on three structuring dimensions: Resilience; Climate Change; Digital Transition.
