NWO Life is an annual scientific conference covering all disciplines in the Dutch Life Sciences at all scales. It is meant to connect researchers, to explore and push boundaries, to discuss new or desirable developments in the field, to get inspired by each other’s research and approaches and to start new interdisciplinary collaborations.

Expect world-leading invited speakers, inspiring parallel sessions, poster presentations for our promising scientific talents, and a broad scope of workshops. For members of the five research communities within the life sciences, NWO Life2025 is the hub to physically meet, connect and discuss major topics addressing the further development of the field.

Every other year, the Microspectroscopy Research Facility of Wageningen University & Research organises a FEBS advanced practical course on fluorescence microspectroscopy for young scientists and PhD students. We organise this course in collaboration with Dr. Koen van den Dries of Radboud Technology Center Microscopy and with Dr. Y. Stahl and Dr. S. Weidtkamp-Peters from Goethe University (Frankfurt) and Heinrich Heine University (Düsseldorf), Germany, respectively.

During this course, you will learn different microscopy techniques for studying biological processes in living cells. Microspectroscopic applications are the methods of choice because direct information on molecular interactions and dynamic events involving biomolecules is obtained with minimal perturbation of cellular integrity and function.

The course will cover the following functional imaging techniques:
Confocal microscopy, Multiphoton microscopy, Photo-activatable imaging, Single particle tracking, Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy, Super-Resolution and Correlative Microscopy, Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), FRET imaging techniques, Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM), Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS), and Fluorescence recovery after Photobleaching (FRAP)

Introduction to True Image Restoration, Deconvolution, and Analysis

Thursday and Friday, May 8-9, 2025, the DSCB will organize
another NL Trippenhuis meeting on Cell Biology in the
Netherlands. This 2-day event will be a wonderful
opportunity for young investigators to show their work to the
cell biology community. We will include selected abstracts
and poster talks in the program.
Koen van den Dries (RadboudUMC), Elsa Neubert (LACDR,
LU), and Virginie Stevenin (LUMC) organize a round table
discussion on the first day and a Blitz session for all submitted
abstracts on the second day.
Attendance is €50.
For more information, registration and abstract submission,
