In its latest decision on research infrastructures, the Swedish Research Council assigned an operation grant with SEK 4.7 Mio for 2014-2018 to the national FESEM resource for training and research in using high resolution Field Emission Scanning-EM and Cryo-technology.

The newly established national FESEM resource at the Chemical Biological Centre in collaboration with MIMS and UCMR is providing a high resolution Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope with a cryo-SEM system for life science and materials research. In particular, scientists within the Swedish National Network for Infection Biology from all major universities; Umeå University, Uppsala University, Stockholm University, Karolinska Institute, Linköping University, Göteborg University, Lund University, are aiming to strengthen the infection biology research in the country by this joint infrastructure.

The course/workshop is designed to give theoretical knowledge on the mechanics of light/fluorescence microscopy and on the use of Photoshop for image processing. We are really pleased that we can give this very popular and excellent microscopy workshop also next year. The new funding received for next year to the UCMR Research School is to support training in the area of Infection and antibiotics within UCMR/MIMS National network in Infection Biology. If the course gets over booked we may need to give priority to PhD students and postdocs the MIMS/UCMR network.

Date: January 21 - 24, 2014
