62nd Annual Montagna Symposium on the Biology of Skin, Light and Skin: How Light Sustains, Damages, Treats, Images and Modifies Skin Biology

October 10-14, 2013 Skamania Lodge, Washington

The 62nd Annual Montagna Symposium on the Biology of Skin, Light and Skin: How Light Sustains, Damages, Treats, Images and Modifies Skin Biology, will examine how light affects skin biology as well as skin biology's impact on the newest uses of light.

Topics to be discussed include:

DNA effects, environmental change, photobiology and immunology

Photodynamic therapy, laser treatment, biostimulation, pulsed laser thermal effects, photoacoustic effects, low-level visible and near-IR effects

Live microscopy, diagnostics and technical tools, application areas, imaging of skin cancer and deep skin optical imaging

Microscopy & Microanalysis 2013

August 4-6, 2013 Indianapolis, Indiana

We invite you to join us for Microscopy & Microanalysis 2013, August 4 – 8 in vibrant Indianapolis, Indiana. The annual M&M meeting continues to be the premier meeting for scientists,
technologists, and students who use microscopy or microanalysis in their research, with 996 papers presented in 2012.

The Program Committee for 2013 has put together an outstanding scientific program that features the latest advances in the biological and physical sciences, techniques and instrumentation.
Complementing the program is one of the largest exhibitions of microscopy and microanalysis instrumentation and resources in the world, attracting well over 100 companies. Educational opportunities include a variety of Sunday short courses, tutorials, evening vendor tutorials, pre-meeting workshops, and in-week intensive workshops.

The Opening Reception offers an opportunity to meet new people in the field and renew old acquaintances, and the Monday morning Plenary session features showcase talks from outstanding researchers as well as recognition of the major Society and Meeting award winners. There will be other important awards conferred during the meeting, including daily poster awards to highlight the best student posters in instrumentation & techniques, biological and physical applications of microscopy & microanalysis.
 

Seeing is Believing – Imaging the Processes of Life

European Molecular Biology Laboratory Heidelberg, Germany

Thursday 3 October - Sunday 6 October 2013

The processes of life are naturally dynamic in space and time from the molecular to the organismal level. The rapid development of imaging methods across this full scale of biological organization has revolutionized our ability to directly visualize the inner workings of proteins, protein complexes, organelles, cells, tissues, organs and whole organisms.

With the Symposium “Seeing is Believing – Imaging the Processes of Life” we aim to bring together the leading developers of imaging methods with cutting edge applications that illustrate how imaging can answer biological questions. We will place emphasis on methods that are able to capture the dynamics of life and aim to span the whole range from molecular resolution to imaging of whole organisms.
