SUMMARY:Workshop for Cryo-electron Tomography
DESCRIPTION:Location: UCEM facility (EM-building) and Chemical Biological Centre (KBC) building\, Umeå University\, Linnaeus väg 6\, Umeå \n\n\n\nDeadline for registration: 13 January 2025 \n\n\n\nCryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) is a powerful structural technique. Its power comes from its versatility to study biological systems in vitro or in situ\, i.e. within cells or tissue. It has the ability to reach uncharted regions in biological systems at high resolution. Advancements in microscopes\, cameras\, and computation make it now possible to determine sub-10 Å 3-dimensional structures of molecules directly within cells. \n\n\n\nThis four-and-a-half-day workshop will cover cryo-ET workflows from sample preparation on EM grids to data processing and analysis. The workshop will be a mixture of lectures and practical sessions. Participants will get hands-on experience in sample preparation on EM grids (micropatterning)\, sample freezing (plunge freezing and high-pressure freezing)\, cryo-correlative light and electron microscopy (cryo-CLEM)\, cryo-focused ion beam milling (cryo-FIB)\, cryo-TEM tiltseries data collection\, and data processing and analysis (MotionCor2\, IMOD\, Dynamo). \n\n\n\nIt is compulsory that applicants have previous cryo-EM experience either with single-particle or already with cryo-tomography. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is supported by SciLifeLab\, CryoNET and Umeå University and organized by the Umeå Centre for Electron Microscopy (UCEM). \n\n\n\nContact email: erin.schexnaydre@umu.se

SUMMARY:TEM sample preparation practical course
DESCRIPTION:This is a practical course on sample preparation for TEM and includes: \n\n\n\n\nUltra-microtome sectioning\n\n\n\nChemical fixation\n\n\n\nPlastic embedding\n\n\n\nTEM imaging\n\n\n\nHigh-pressure freezing & freeze substitution\n\n\n\nImmunolabeling techniques (Immunogold\, CLEM)\n\n\n\nVolume EM (FIB-SEM & Tomography)\n\n\n\n\nParticipants will practice TEM sample preparation and TEM imaging with a sample from their own project. Lab space limits the number of participants to 8\, chosen by motivation and project aim. Write a short project description\, motivation for participating and what sample you would like to bring for the course. Fixation and plastic embedding take time\, therefore one test-sample should be brought to be prepared before the course\, and a new test-sample is brought for the first day. \n\n\n\nIn addition\, a small presentation about an EM-project idea of your own should be prepared and presented on the last day. \n\n\n\nParticipants should attend all theoretical and practical parts of the course to receive a certificate of 1\,5 hp. \n\n\n\nPre-requisite criterion: Basic EM course at UCEM or previous equal experiences with EM methods. \n\n\n\nTeachers: Sara Henriksson\, Agnieszka Ziolkowska\, Narin Mohamad and Linda Sandblad \n\n\n\nContact: linda.sandblad@umu.se \n\n\n\nApplication deadline: 27 March 2024. \n\n\n\nMore Information and registration
