User-friendly, cutting-edge super-resolution microscopy arrives in York All welcome to this joint BPSInet and YBRI virtual research symposium.

Event details

The research theme of the symposium is centred around the cutting-edge Zeiss Elyra 7 super-resolution microscopy platform which will be arriving in York's Bioscience Technology Facility this Autumn.

External speakers will include an imaging specialist from Zeiss UK introducing the capabilities of the Elyra 7 platform and researchers from the Medicines Discovery Catapult who have been using this platform in drug discovery research.

The symposium will finish with an opportunity for attendees to join breakout groups where they can socialise, and discuss topics covered in the symposium that relate to their own research interests.
