SUMMARY:EPS/VLAG Advanced Course ‘Microscopy and Spectroscopy in Food and Plant Sciences’ - Feb 2027
DESCRIPTION:EPS/VLAG Advanced Course ‘Microscopy and Spectroscopy in Food and Plant Sciences’\nThe MicroSpectroscopy Research Facility ( MSC) and the Wageningen Light Microscopy Centre (WLMC) of Wageningen University are jointly organizing an advanced practical course\, funded by VLAG & EPS\, for PhD candidates\, postdocs\, and candidates from industry. The course will cover both theoretical and hands-on training in a range of advanced. \nThe course touches all aspects of imaging\, from proper sample preparation to a fundamental understanding of the optics of image and contrast formation\, including key concepts like resolution\, diffraction\, and image generation\, to image processing.  With a focus on confocal fluorescence imaging and the currently available range of probes\, participants will gain an overview of all bright-field imaging techniques available at WUR. Advanced imaging methods like spinning disk\, multiphoton\, multispectral\, TIRF\, FRET\, FLIM\, and STED will be explored to obtain quantitative data on molecular localization and interactions at super-resolution either in living cells or in complex food samples.  Practical sessions include imaging experiments carried out (demo) in small groups of max. 6 participants. \nIn addition\, we have included a Fiji/ImageJ tutorial (hands-on) to introduce the basics of data processing and to guide participants in identifying suitable algorithms for their quantitative research questions. The overall aim is to equip participants with a clear understanding of how to select appropriate imaging methods and apply effective data processing strategies tailored to their project research needs. \n \nDate: 01 – 03 February 2027 \nLocation: Radix and Helix\, Wageningen Campus \nFee: \nEarly bird\, until 30 October 2026 \n€275 for PhD candidates of EPS/Vlag with an accepted TSP and WGS PhD candidates with accepted TSP \n€400 for postdocs registered with EPS \n€520 EPS/Vlag staff members \n€650 External PhD students/postdocs \n€1040 WUR/University staff members \n€2000 Industry \nUntil 12 december 2026 \n€325 for PhD candidates of EPS/Vlag with an accepted TSP and WGS PhD candidates with accepted TSP \n€450 for postdocs registered with EPS \n€570 EPS/Vlag staff members \n€700 External PhD students/postdocs \n€1090 WUR/University staff members \n€2050 Industry \nRegistration: open (deadline 12 December 2026) \nParticipants: max 24* \n*During your registration you will be asked to fill in your motivation to join the course. If there are more submissions\, than spots available\, we select the participants based on this motivation.  \nCoordinator: Juliane Teapal (EPS)

SUMMARY:EPS workshop "Single-cell genomics in plants"- Feb 2027
DESCRIPTION:Gene expression is regulated in response to developmental and environmental cues and enables organisms to respond appropriately to internal and external signals. Because gene-regulatory programs are often different across cell types\, cell-specific transcriptional responses are typically not observed when profiling gene expression in whole organs or tissues. However\, emerging single-cell genomic technologies\, including transcriptomics\, are being used to characterize gene expression dynamics at unprecedented resolution. In addition to profiling cell-type specific responses in gene expression\, single-cell transcriptomics is being used to discover new cell types\, track cellular differentiation and predict gene-regulatory networks. Although single-cell transcriptomics techniques are typically more challenging in plants (e.g. due to presence of cell walls)\, recent technological advances are revolutionizing how we characterize gene regulation. \nIn this three-day workshop\, a combination of external and local speakers will present various topics related to single-cell transcriptomics in plants. Presentations will cover the latest technologies and computational approaches employed during single-cell transcriptomics experiments\, as well as how these single-cell approaches are being used to address both fundamental and applied research questions in plants. Hands-on wet lab training will be given during the first two days.  During the computer practicals\, participants will also learn how to analyze and visualize single-cell transcriptomic datasets. Altogether\, we aim for this course to help plant researchers design\, execute and analyze single-cell transcriptomics experiments\, and explore up-and-coming single-cell genomic applications. \n  \nDate: 09. – 11. February 2027 \nLocation: Wageningen Campus\, The Netherlands \nParticipants (max 25): PhD candidates and postdocs \nRegistration: opens soon \nOrganizers: Michael Nodine (WUR)\, Victoria Mironova (RU)\, Carolin Grones (WUR)\, Michael Schon (WUR) and Juliane Teapal (EPS) \nContact: Juliane Teapal
