We are back from Germany! After a quick detour to visit the Sauer lab in Wurzburg, Toby and Donna met up with Rosey and Heather in Berlin for the PicoQuant Single Molecule Workshop. Posters were presented with lots of good feedback and Toby gave the shortest talk of his life. It was fantastic to see so many different labs from all over the world presenting state-of-the-art fluorescence research and in between the onslaught of information that the conference provided many ideas for new and ongoing research projects were hatched. A river cruise in beautiful weather and dinner at the top of the Radio tower capped off a truly wonderful trip.
20th September 2014
Almost time for the 20th PicoQuant Single Molecule Workshop. Four posters will be present spanning nanocrystals to Rabies, pH sensors to imaging artefacts. Heather will be arriving in Berlin via Denmark along with Bell group alumni Emma Hooley who is now doing a postdoc at the University of Coperhagen. Rosey will be flying in direct from Melbourne. And Donna and Toby will be coming up from Wurzburg along with members of Markus Sauer’s group.
Certainly a good excuse to touch base with our dSTORM collaborators and revisit Wurzburg once more…
20th International Workshop on
“Single Molecule Spectroscopy and Ultra Sensitive Analysis in the Life Sciences”
Abstracts have been submitted and registrations paid. Toby, Donna, Rosey and Heather are all excited to be heading to Germany for this fantastic meeting!
We are back from the very successful RACI meeting in Hobart and are feeling very caught up on the state of Phys Chem research in Australia. Five group members attended and presented their work: Toby gave a fantastic talk about our ongoing dSTORM work looking at microtubules in Rabies-affected cells, Heather presented her latest work on imaging quantum nanorods, Brenton showed off his single molecule characterisation of a newly synthesised ultra-bright SANDI, Rosey’s poster show-cased her work with crown ethers as sensors, and Donna presented one poster on the dSTORM setup and ongoing benchmarking experiments and another poster on her recent publication on FTIR detection of DNA conformation transitions.
As an added highlight, during the conference dinner it was announced that Rosey had been awarded the poster prize, capping off a fantastic week.
