A volunteer and collaborative effort to bring information about shared microscopy facilities to the University of Arizona and the community.

Quantitative Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (NIH, Bethesda, MD) Nov 7, 2024

Announcing the Inaugural Quantitative Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (QFLIM) workshop at NIH in Bethesda co-organized by Jay Knutson (NIH) and Chris Combs (NIH), on November 7th, 2024.

The Inaugural QFLIM Symposium will be held on the campus of NIH in Building 10, Masur Auditorium. FLIM is a rapidly growing technique in microscopy that provides unique and robust information about metabolic state, analyte
concentrations, nanoscopic probe flexibility and environments and molecular proximity; it has wide applicability in cell biology and pathology. In this first year, a group of local and international speakers will showcase a variety of applications while discussing the advances made possible by the latest instruments.

The QFLIM symposium will be a one day event (this year) and we are expecting ~150 academic attendees. Attendance will be capped.

Confirmed speakers (with more tbd);

  • Chiara Stringari (*Keynote*), Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau, Paris
  • David Jameson, Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, John A. Burns School of Medicine at the University of Hawaii at Manoa
  • Ammasi Periasamy, Keck Institute, University of Virginia
  • Melissa Skala, Morgridge Inst., University of Wisconsin - Madison
  • Alexandra Walsh, BME dept., Texas A&M
