From cchang at uab.edu Fri Jan 17 15:11:54 2020 From: cchang at uab.edu (Chang, Chenbei) Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2020 20:11:54 +0000 Subject: [Xenopus] CSHL Xenopus Course application due Jan 31 2020 Message-ID: Dear Colleagues, Greetings and salutations to all. We are asking for your assistance to promote the 2020 Xenopus Course at Cold Spring Harbor. The Xenopus course at CSH has a long tradition of training the next generation of Xenopus researchers in critical skills to exploit Xenopus for understanding cell and developmental biology. Stipends are available to offset tuition costs (see the website for details). To get the most out of the course, we encourage students to bring their own projects. Students are encouraged to identify genes of interest, we will design sgRNAs for these genes, and then students can knock these genes out at the course and analyze any phenotypes using all of the tools available from advanced high-speed fluorescent confocal imaging to cut-and-paste embryology. In addition, we have the good fortune of overlapping with the Quantitative Imaging (QI) course at CSH. We plan to build interactions between our groups to image Xenopus embryos using the latest imaging methods. This was a huge success last year and offers the possibility to try light-sheet, high-speed live confocal, and super-resolution imaging methods. Important Dates: Course - March 25-April 7, 2020 Application Due Date: January 31, 2020 We have an exciting list of speakers/instructors including: Chenbei Chang, University of Alabama; Lance Davidson, University of Pittsburgh; Rebecca Heald, University of California at Berkeley; Douglas Houston, University of Iowa; Mustafa Khokha, Yale University; Ray Keller, University of Virginia; Roberto Mayor, University College London, UK; Bryan Mitchell, Northwestern University; Nanette Nascone-Yoder, North Carolina State University; Andrea Wills, University of Washington; Sarah Woolner, University of Manchester, UK; Martin Wuhr, Princeton University For more information and application submission, please visit the website. Thanks, Chenbei Chang, University of Alabama Lance Davidson, University of Pittsburgh Course objectives: Microinjection, microdissection, and grafts - Organizer, animal cap, neural crest and more. In situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, CRISPR, and MO loss of function. Germ cell isolation and transplants. Live cell and embryo Imaging and fluorescence - confocal microscopy, image analysis and figure design. Genomic and proteomic approaches to development, regeneration, and disease models. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Deadline has been extended. Marko Woods Hole Embryology Course Applications Due February 11, 2020 The application deadline has been extended for the Embryology Course at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole. This fantastic course has been offered each summer since 1893. Students receive very unique and broad training in animal developmental biology, covering numerous and diverse species. In addition, they are able to directly interact with top scientists from around the world in the field of developmental biology, establishing lifetime scientific networks. The course runs this year from May 31 ? July 13, 2020 Course directors: Dave Sherwood (Duke) and Carole LaBonne (Northwestern). Please encourage your students and post-docs to apply - former students of this course uniformly say that it had a tremendous impact on their career. Don?t be off-put by the sticker price - significant financial aid is available.
