Traineeship in cell imaging

It will be a traineeship in imaging (48h in e.g. 2x3 working days within 2 weeks) in which the student will participate one or several imaging experiments and write a complete reporting of this traineeship

Students will spend time in an imaging laboratory (microscopy or pre-clinical in vivo imaging). They will attend or participate imaging experiments (depending on the imaging method(s) used in the laboratory they will come to). This practical approach will let them learn the technical specificities and constraints of the application of those imaging methods in a biomedical research context.

Required and Corequired knowledge and skills

Some basic knowledge in imaging: types of microscopy methods (fluorescence, electron...), types of in vivo imaging methods (ionizing, non-ionizing)

Students will spend time in an imaging laboratory (microscopy or pre-clinical in vivo imaging). They will attend or participate imaging experiments (depending on the imaging method(s) used in the laboratory they will come to).

Additional information

According to time schedules, students will participate already existing practical works in microscopy laboratories on the campus of Gosselies + interning in pre-clinical imaging laboratories at the center for microscopy and molecular imaging (CMMI).
