LBNL Integrated Bioimaging Initiative Workshop Thursday, February 2, 2012 8:30 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. (incl. reception) 717 Potter Street, room 141 Berkeley, CA 97710 Goals The goals of this workshop were to: - Bring together people with expertise in current equipment/technologies at the Lab/UCB that span the imaging spectrum. - Identify current equipment/technologies inventory and needs. - Identify opportunities and challenges in integrated bioimaging. - Use the outcome to develop a "white paper" to obtain large-scale funding. Registration Required - Now Closed 8:30 Welcome and introduction - by Gary Karpen 9:15 Bioimaging capabilities - intros by experts across the Lab Diffractive imaging,

B) How can we measure the effects of environmental impacts (radiation, stresses, chemicals, epigenomic factors) on genome, cellular, and organismal functions? C) How can we comprehensively extract tissue-level, cellular and sub-cellular information both from primary patient material and in-vivo for diagnostics and evaluation of therapeutic effectiveness? D) What capabilities can we bring together to comprehensively image the structure, dynamics, and function of a living cell at a molecular resolution? E) How can we simultaneous and dynamically image/measure the chemical and physical environmental and microbial metabolism at the 'microbial scale' in order to understand physical-chemical-metabolic feed-backs? Presentations: The introduction presentation by Gary Karpen and several of the bioimaging capabilities presentations (some edited for sharing) are attached below. Introduction Presentations: Introduction slides of workshop participants are attached below for your perusal. Information: For more information contact bioimaging@lbl.gov. |
