2017 Imaging Workshop: Making the most of Microscopy


We're happy to announce the tentative program for the 2017 CCI Imaging Workshop. Our aim is to provide existing and potential users of the facility with a better idea of the services we offer, the work that is conducted here and some of the cutting edge science happening in the Imaging field.

We are pleased to have special guest Keynotes from Gary Borisy (Forsyth Institute) and Teng-Leong Chew from the HHMI Janelia Advanced Imaging Centre (AIC) who will also provide more in depth training on days two and three.

As with last year, we (and others) will be tweeting leading up to the event and in real time with the hashtag #CCIwkshp.

Date & Location


The imaging workshop was held on the 11th - 13th September 2017. The main seminars were held in the School of Life Sciences Lecture Theatre #2. The hands-on was held in the Life Sciences PC teaching room.
