All students are requested to provide an abstract (max 300 words) describing your major research interest and the intended application of immuno-electron microscopy and/or tissue in-situ hybridization in your research. This abstract must be received by email to Dr. Jacqueline Montanaro and Dr. Siegfried Reipert. Latest acceptance of abstract is 31st October, 2009.

In addition, please provide the following information:
Your Name, Institute, Department, Phone number, email, webpage and please indicate (yes or no) whether you have previous experience with
LRW embedding, FISH, TEM, Epifluorescence microscopy, cryo-microtomy and any immuno-staining techniques at light microscopy or electron microscopy level.

Please send abstracts and further information to:
montanaro@microbial-ecology.net
siegfried.reipert@univie.ac.at

You are advised that you will be required to give a 7 minute introductory talk during the course (17.11.09) describing your major research interest and the intended application of immuno-electron microscopy and/or tissue in-situ hybridization in your research. This is intended to be an introduction of the students to the lecturers and to eachother. This talk will also contribute towards the final assessment.
