CRC 1093 - Training Program and Events

General information

The graduate school provides a structural framework for graduate training within the CRC. Interdisciplinary excellent scientific education is offered by all of the participating principal investigators as well as external scientists and non-scientists.

The training program comprises lectures, teaching units and seminars on a biweekly basis (CRC1093 Bi-Weekly seminar). External scientist are invited to present and discuss their research to CRC members. Within the teaching lectures the group leaders or postdocs of a CRC working group are giving insight into theoretical and practical knowledge of their research projects and methods. They also describe existing cooperation projects with other CRC groups. The PhD students have the ability to ask in detail about the research project, technical items and possible interaction with their own research project.

In order to learn new techniques and experimental methods PhD students attend practical courses or participate in the lab exchange program. In the literature seminars students present and discuss the strenght and weaknesses of recent publications in chemistry or biology of their choosing. Annually a progress meeting with the dissertation committee, an international or alternating graduate student symposia as well as workshops (see below) in transferable skills and career development are held.

CRC Bi-weekly seminar

The CRC1093 Bi-Weekly Seminar takes place every second Tuesday from 4-6 pm. It combines science lectures of external guests, teaching lectures and internal seminars / progress reports. All PhD students are invited to suggest external speakers. Please contact our scientific coordinator. View all seminars and lectures

Method Lecture by Leica MicrosystemsConfocal Microscopy

Heike Glauner (Leica Microsystems, Application Workflow Specialist EMEA Confocal Microscopy/ FLIM & FCS) will give a talk on: "Your New Leica TCS SP8X: Looking Forward to Your Discoveries"

Tuesday, August 14th, 1 pm in room S05 V01 E69

The newly installed Leica TCS SP8X confocal at the ICCE expands your possibilities in imaging in several dimensions. This talk aims to give you an overview about the techniques that can be applied by the system, such as Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM), Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS), the Lightning detection concept to extend the resolution down to 120 nm, the Resonant Scanner for fast imaging, or the new Navigator tool for fast overviews of your samples and the identification of important details in an instant. With the White Light Laser as excitation source and the Leica spectral detector you will have maximum spectral freedom. A Rapp OptoElectronic laser ablation system completes the configuration so that all in all a broad range of applications becomes possible. Come and find out what the Leica TCS SP8X can do for your research work.
