In Vivo Small Animal Imaging Workshop

An Invitation from Simon Cherry

The Center for Molecular and Genomic Imaging (CMBI) invites you to join them at the “In vivo Small-Animal Imaging: An Introductory Workshop,” to be held March 21, 2012, at the auditorium of the Genome and Biomedical Sciences Facility on the UC Davis campus. This workshop is designed for individuals who are new to in vivo, small animal imaging. It is appropriate for technical staff and researchers who have recently started working with in vivo imaging techniques and who want to learn more about the basic science and methods of small-animal imaging. The workshop will consist of lectures in the morning and demonstrations of imaging procedures in the afternoon. Only the first 26 registered participants will be invited to participate in the afternoon demonstrations at the Center for Molecular and Genomic Imaging (CMGI). No prior knowledge is assumed. Please note that the workshop is not suited for those already experienced in small-animal imaging. We look forward to seeing you in March!
