Registration and accommodation are less expensive than the prior US iteration. We will continue to raise funds to further support participants, incl. some travel grants.

If you or your trainees are just getting started with image analysis of cells & are #CellProfiler -curious, here is a fairly thorough walk-through demo I did recently. Loading files, extracting metadata (fun with Regex!), identifying objects, measuring, filtering, QC, exporting:

Deeply saddened by the passing of my colleague, Prof. Meng-Chao Yao, a remarkable scientist and mentor. He left an indelible mark on all of us fortunate enough to know him. His legacy in molecular and ciliate biology will endure. Rest well, my friend. 1/

From MBoC… Dorothy Lerit (Emory University) shows how cells choreograph RNA delivery to their division centers—keeping the process of cell division precise and on time.

New preprint 🥳! We made photoclickable HaloTag ligands to precisely control protein labeling on living cells. With it, we can do some cool multicolor stuff. Huge congrats to Franzi and all co-authors! Check it out 👇

Your mentee is lucky to have someone as committed 🥰 Most of my trainees aim for the F31, so this was a learning process for me. The random, last minute rule changes did not help. 🫠
