Current methods in cell biology
An EMBO Practical Course at the EMBL Advanced Training Centre in Heidelberg, running ten days of hands-on training in advanced imaging, quantitative analysis and complementary biophysical methods. It answers a field reshaped by single-molecule imaging, in situ structural biology and quantitative live-cell microscopy — and by AI-based image analysis that now produces vast, high-dimensional datasets and with them new problems of experimental design, data integration and interpretation. Modules run from introductory microscopy and single-molecule biophysical characterisation through super-resolution and expansion methods to theory for cell biology and image analysis via classical and deep-learning approaches. Scientific organisers are Niccolò Banterle and Thomas Quail (EMBL Heidelberg) with Beth Cimini (Broad Institute); participants bring their own laptop.
