Participants of a 5-day summer school launched at UD on Monday can learn about preparations required before the electron microscopy studies of tissue samples and about how to manage the related practical problems. The course, which was organized by NeurotechEU, an international university cooperation programme, is attended by 14 students from 9 countries, as well as laboratory professionals and assistants.
Organized in the framework of the Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Program, the Summer School on Electron Microscopy Sample Preparation started with a 3-day online training program and continues for a week in the Electron Microscopy Laboratory of the Department of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology of the Faculty of Medicine. The language of the course is English.
The 14 students represent 9 countries, arrived from NeurotechEU member universities, and attend BSc, MSc, or doctoral programs in the field of neurosciences and/or medicine. Technicians and specialists working in electron microscopy laboratories are also among the participants.
- This is a practice-oriented course, as the preparation of samples for electron microscopy studies is a time-demanding and complicated process. Only a few institutions provide practical training in this field in Europe, which makes our summer school a gap-filling course. We have highly experienced technicians, who can transfer very useful knowledge to participants – Péter Szűcs, head of the Department of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology of the Faculty of Medicine.
In the academic year 2022/2023, this has been the third Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Program (BIP) at UD. As for the next academic year, UD has already won an Erasmus+ grant for organizing four more BIPs.
