Stereology workshop, University of Bern w/ newCAST training course.
August 23-31, 2010
Bern, Switzerland

Stereology workshop August 23-27, 2010:

Instructors: Matthias Ochs, M.D., Jens R. Nyengaard, M.D., Christian Mühlfeld, M.D., Lars Pedersen, Ph.D., Lars Knudsen, M.D., Stefan Tschanz, M.D., Beat Haenni.

Scope: This course provides an introduction to state-of-the-art stereology with emphasis on its practical application in biomedicine. Experimental design, sampling, use of stereological probes, estimation of stereological parameters, and the application of statistical methods appropriate for stereology are covered. The course encompasses lectures, classroom exercises with real biomedical images, and laboratory practicals demonstrating the implementation of proper sampling and processing techniques on real biological organs.

This course is intended for students and researchers from the field of biology and medicine interested in sampling and measurement of 3D structures. Applications involving any kind of microscopy (e.g. light microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, multi-photon microscopy, electron microscopy) as well as non-invasive scanning techniques like CT and NMR are welcome.

Participants should bring their specific projects and questions. During the course, there will be ample opportunity for discussions with the instructors.
