September 3-8 2006

NCMIR's Mark Ellisman and Gina Sosinsky will be presenting invited papers at the 16th International Congress of Microscopy in Sapporo, Japan. (ME--Remote Electron Microscopy; GS--Visualizing the Structure and Function of Gap Junctions [PDF])

June 2006

June 5-7, 2006. Mark Ellisman will be speaking at Frontiers in Microscopy, in Bar Harbor, Maine, hosted by The Jackson Laboratory. This three day meeting will provide a forum to review and discuss among the world leaders in microscopy the present state and future developments in this field. The discussions will cover all microscopic techniques which are presently available or under development. This meeting is intended to discuss the complimentary nature of different probes and how they can be used in combination to solve open questions in the bio- and environmental sciences, and to study biointerface processes in real time (cell adhesion, biofouling). Besides the ongoing effort to improve the (optical) resolution routinely below Abbe´s diffraction limit, a strong need has been identified to improve time resolution for in vivo and in vitro tracking experiments and to further develop label-free imaging techniques. Leaders in the respective microscopy fields will present overview lectures and explain their vision for further developments. These highlight lectures will be complemented by lectures covering applications of the microscopic techniques.

June 19, 2006. Adam Lathers will present on Pegasus and other NCMIR workflow tools at the CLADE workshop held in conjunction with HPDC-15, in Paris (Lathers, Su, Kulungowski, Lin, Mehta, Peltier, Deelman, and Ellisman, "Enabling Parallel Scientific Applications with Workflow Tools.")
