NanoSIMS in Life Science Symposium 2026

About the Symposium

This symposium is hosted by the newly established NanoSIMS Sweden facility at the University of Gothenburg, which became part of the Integrated Microscopy Technologies unit, within the SciLifeLab Cellular and Molecular Imaging platform, in July 2025. The event aims to introduce the NanoSIMS technology to the wider life science community in Sweden.

By bringing experts together and showcasing cutting-edge imaging technologies, we will highlight how high-resolution chemical imaging can transform biological research by visualizing processes at the subcellular level. The program will be designed to spark new collaborations, and inspire fresh scientific ideas in cell biology, microbiology, health care, and drug development.

Visit at the NanoSIMS Facility

The day after the symposium, May 12, there is the oppotunity to visit the NanoSIMS facility, located at AstraZeneca BioVenture Hub.
