Our plans continue for the 2011 ACERT Workshop on “ESR Microscopy and Its Applications in Biomedical ESR Imaging” which will be held on 16th – 18th January 2011 at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York USA.

The objective of the workshop is to raise awareness in the biomedical community to the potential of ESR Microscopy, especially in relation to ESR Imaging. Topics will include a cross-section of up-to-date ESR Microscopy and ESR Imaging techniques.

“ESR Microscopy and Its Applications in Biomedical ESR Imaging” will include lectures, demonstrations, and “hands-on” experience with the latest ESR Microscopy methods.

There will be ample discussions of proposals and plans to integrate the new developments in ESRM with current activities in biomedical ESR Imaging.

We envision that a typical attendee will include those interested in the potential of ESR microscopy and those who want to learn its operation and applications. This workshop is suited for graduate students and postdocs who would benefit from learning what advantages ESR microscopy can offer for biomedical and related studies.

To learn more about what we are researching in the field of high resolution ESR microscopy, see our Core Research page for "High Resolution ESR Microscopy", or our Key Publications page for "ESR Microscopy".

REGISTRATION Fee:

US $375.00 which includes the Workshop, Coffee Breaks, and Meals.
