Workshop on Single Molecule-based Super-resolution Microscopy: from Acquisition to Analysis, from Theory to Applications
The core facility for Single-Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM) located at the Department of Biomedicine (UiB) has recently been opened to all users. SMLM is a state-of-the-art technology, which dramatically improves spatial resolution over standard, diffraction-limited microscopy. Major biological insights have been made using this technology into the spatial and temporal organization of proteins and nucleic acids within subcellular compartments (such as nucleus, cytoplasm and plasma membrane) at nanoscale resolution. To help potential users become familiar with this cutting-edge technology, we will organize at least two workshops (1st in 2022, 2nd in 2023) addressing both theoretical and experimental considerations for SMLM, including fluorescent labeling, sample preparation, hardware requirements, image acquisition, analysis in live cells. Several outstanding scientists, who have developed novel labeling/acquisition/analysis for single molecule-based super-resolution imaging of protein or RNA, have confirmed their participation. This is a great opportunity to have a face-to-face interaction with these scientists, and bring your research questions and get inputs from them. Workshop 21-23 September 2022 at BBB.

MOOC on challenge-based learning – CBL
Challenge-based learning (CBL) is an innovative and active approach to teaching and learning, which is relatively new to higher education. Arqus now organizes a MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) aimed at teachers in higher education, and anyone interested in CBL, teaching and learning in higher education. The course will help you develop your skills to introduce challenge-based learning into your own teaching practice. The theory of the course is combined with practical examples and testimonials from teachers and students involved in CBL projects, in addition to other resources and assignments. The MOOC starts 13 June 2022. MOOC on challenge-based learning | ARQUS Alliance | UiB You do not need any prior knowledge to participate in the course, and it is divided into four units with a duration for four hours each. The course contains four units covering the following topics:
-Unit 1: Introduction to CBL
-Unit 2: CBL makers
-Unit 3: CBL in action
-Unit 4: Assessment in CBL
For actively participating in the course you will receive an automatic certificate which includes your username, the course name as well as the completed lessons.
