Upcoming Events/Workshop/Seminar/Conference
India BioImaging – Train-the-Trainer (TtT) Program on Advanced Bioimaging and Image Analysis
Hosted by the DBT-SAHAJ National Facility for Single-Molecule and Super-Resolution Imaging, IIT Hyderabad
The DBT-SAHAJ National Facility for Single-Molecule and Super-Resolution Imaging (IIT Hyderabad), in collaboration with the India BioImaging (IBI) Network and Global BioImaging, is pleased to host the Train-the-Trainer (TtT) Program on Advanced Bioimaging and Image Analysis.
This internationally recognized training program is designed to strengthen the capacity of imaging scientists, microscopy core facility staff, and life science researchers by focusing on effective teaching methodologies for advanced microscopy and image analysis. Rather than concentrating solely on imaging technologies, the program equips participants with the skills required to design, organize, and deliver high-quality training courses within their own institutions.
Program Highlights
-
Learner-Centered Teaching: Develop effective strategies for delivering engaging lectures, interactive discussions, and practical image analysis sessions.
-
Training Future Trainers: Build the expertise needed to organize and conduct microscopy and bioimage analysis workshops at regional and national levels.
-
Course Design & Management: Learn best practices for curriculum development, hands-on training, assessment, and course logistics.
-
Global Networking: Interact with experts from the India BioImaging and Global BioImaging communities, fostering international collaborations and knowledge exchange.
Target Participants
-
Microscopy core facility managers and staff
-
Imaging scientists and microscopists
-
Life science researchers involved in user training
-
Early-career researchers interested in microscopy education and capacity building
This initiative supports the long-term vision of expanding high-quality bioimaging education across India by empowering participants to become effective trainers and leaders within the imaging community.
Stay tuned for registration details, program schedule, and speaker announcements.
