Learning Outcomes

  • demonstrate in-depth understanding of modern advanced fluorescence microscopy techniques and existing biosensors detecting signal molecules.
  • design imaging experiment for detecting cellular signaling molecules using available biosensors for small signaling molecules or metabolites.
  • Through hands-on training in advance fluorescence microscopy techniques, demonstrate the skills of operating the existing microscope modules such as spinning disc confocal and Keyence microscopes and process big data for publication.
  • teach other researchers how to use fluorescence microscopes to detect small signaling molecules in various biological samples, including plants, microbes, insects, etc.
