Dynamic Bioimaging Lab

On the occasion of the PhD defense of Mrs. Veerle Lemmens, the Dynamic Bioimaging Lab and the Advanced Optical Microscopy Centre are organizing a MiniSymposium on Array Detectors in Confocal Microscopy. Array detectors allow faster imaging, with higher signal-to-noise, better spatial resolution. Moreover, they allow studying complex molecular motion (directional flow, diffusion nears barriers,...) and, when operated in time-resolved mode, allow correlating nanosecond fluorophore properties with micro-millisecond biomolecular properties.

When: July 10, 2024
Where: Hasselt University, Campus Diepenbeek

Do you want to investigate protein folding, unfolding or misfolding pathways, but don't know which biophysical methods to choose or combine? Look no further! This One-Day Workshop will provide a great introductory overview!

We will lecture about structural biology research on chaperones, membrane proteins and other protein systems. We will dig deep into technologies such as NMR, single-molecule FRET, cryo-EM, HDEX-MS, optical tweezers and other advanced methodological pipelines that are used to study protein real-time and/or atomistic structure and dynamics. Finally, we will introduce you to multimodal and integrative methods, and explain their synergies, pros and cons.

When: September 10, 2024
Where: KU Leuven Rega Institute
