BIO-TALK: Investigating cellular logistics with live-cell STED super-resolution microscopy

FRANCESCA BOTTANELLI
Freie Universität

Abstract:

This course aims to equip attendees with the necessary skills to successfully conduct live-cell stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy experiments.

It will include a comprehensive lecture that covers essential techniques for sample preparation, along with practical considerations and imaging parameters specifically tailored to live-cell STED imaging. Furthermore, a pipeline for generating CRISPR-Cas9 knock-in cell lines will be discussed, enabling participants to observe nanoscale dynamics at the endogenous expression level.

In addition to the informative lectures, participants will have the opportunity to engage in two hands-on practical sessions. These sessions will take place at the SLN facility, where attendees will gain practical experience imaging both overexpressed intracellular markers and knock-in cell lines.

Registration:

Participation is open to all ICFOnians.

Please note that registration is required due to limited availability. If you are interested in participating, kindly fill out the registration form provided here by June 21

Confirmation emails will be sent to accepted applicants on May 22.

About the trainer:

Dr. Francesca Bottanelli is an assistant professor in the Biochemistry department at Freie Universität  in Berlin. She developed a passion for imaging and cell biology during her PhD with Dr. Jürgen Denecke at the University of Leeds (UK). She then moved to the USA to carry out post-doctoral work Dr. James Rothman and was very excited to be working on the development of super-resolution techniques (STED in particular) and their application to cell biological questions. During her post-doctoral work, she developed novel labelling strategies for multi-color live-cell STED imaging (in collaboration with Dr. Joerg Bewersdorf lab) and applied these tools to better understand how the Golgi -the main sorting station of the cell- works. In her independent position she continues to pursue both her passions (STED and the Golgi).
