The Göttingen SPIRIT Summer School„Multimodal Molecular Imaging:

from high resolution in vitro towards in vivo“

The summer school o�ers young scientists a platform of advan-ced education, practical training and exchange of information on translational and molecular imaging. During this week young scientists will have the opportunity to meet international leading scientists from the research �elds of medicine, physics, chemistry, biology and nanotechnology. They will not only learn about the basic principles but also the latest research results in the di�erent areas of imaging. There will be plenty of time for informal discussions in particular during the di�erent social events.

We encourage PhD students and Post docs (no longer than 3 years post PhD) from all over the world working or interested in multimodal molecular imaging to apply. The conference, food and accommodation is free of charge, only travel expenses have to be paid.

Conditions for the application:

• PhD student or Post doc (no longer than 3 years post PhD)• Interested in multimodal Molecular Imaging (in vivo and in vitro approaches)• Submit a CV (one page including publication list) and a letter of motivation (max. 500 words)• If you attend, you will need to prepare a 5 slide oral presentation

Scienti�c program: The summer school „Multimodal Molecular Imaging: from high resolution in vitro towards in vivo“ focuses on multimodal imaging techniques to illustrate processes relevant in di�erent diseases on cellular levels as well as in the living organism. The summer school demonstrates the spectrum of imaging techno-logies, ranging from high-resolution microscopy to non-invasive techniques to depict biological processes in various neurologi-cal, cardiological and oncological disorders. Furthermore, approaches to transfer scienti�c �ndings from basic research to the development of diagnostic methods for clinical applications will be presented.

Following areas will be addressed:multimodal imaging, translational medical imaging, probe design, nanomedicine, high-resolution �uorescence- and x-ray microscopy, STED microscopy, Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), Live Cell Imaging, multiphoton microscopy, in vivo optical imaging, ultrasound, MRI, SPECT, PET

Introduction by Walter Stühmer, Göttingen

Hands-on sessions:

STED microscopy and FRET imaging

CLSM and two photon imaging

High resolution phase contrast imaging

CT and MRI imaging technologies

Optical imaging

Summer school format:

The Summer school will be limited to 25 participants. Each participant will introduce him/herself by a short talk with 5 slides each at the first day of the meeting. Next to several lectu-res 5 practical Hands-on sessions are planned. There will be plenty of free time for informal discussions. The summer school takes place at the Max-Planck-Institute for Experimental Medici-ne in Göttingen (www.em.mpg.de).
