Scottish Microscopy Society Annual Symposium

This conference encompasses all disciplines including: biology, chemistry, physics, computational biology and image analysis. They especially aim to promote ECR visibility, but encourage abstract submissions from everyone including imaging facility staff.  

The keynote speaker this year is Prof. Rachel Lennon, Professor of Nephrology at the University of Manchester. Prof Lennon will talk about the role of 3D electron microscopy in her work on basement membranes, how these specialised matrix structures assemble and how they become damaged in disease. 

There’s plenty of chance to interact with trade, with technobites and stands, and facility managers from different universities around Scotland will be available to give you more information on the microscopes and techniques available in Scotland. 

Also running is the annual Scottish Microscopist of the Year competition. This competition recognises the contribution entrants have made to the microscopy community in Scotland. The winner will win £500, and will give a talk at the symposium. Entry is now open until Friday 26th September – see Scottish Microscopist of the Year competition page for entry and full details.

Travel and accommodation funding up to £100, subject to availability.
