Target group
The masterclass is intended for PhD students and postdoctoral fellows who work in the area of molecular biology, biocatalysis, structural biology of enzymes, biotechnology and related fields. A good knowledge of basic biochemistry, molecular and cell biology is required. The maximum number of participants for the masterclass is set at 50.
Program topics
Fluorescent proteins
Fluorescence techniques: FRET, FRAP, FCS
Single molecule imaging
Single particle electron microscopy
Single cell analysis
Single cell metabolomics, transcriptomics and proteomics
