Teaching

NIH FAES: Imaging – From IF and FISH to Automated and Confocal Microscopy [link]
This workshop utilizes a combination of lectures and Q&A lab sessions in a “boot camp”-like approach for cell biologists who seek to learn imaging techniques used extensively in biomedical research.
Lead-instructor of the image processing & analysis boot camp, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, United States of America

NIH FAES: Image Processing and Analysis workshop [link]
Basic and advanced topics in image processing and analysis (e.g., fundamentals of digital images, object segmentation, Fourier transformation, volumetric and intensity measurements, co-localization analysis). Hands-on sessions with Fiji/ImageJ.
