The next Summer School will happen in Marcoule  1-6 September 2013.

This third Training School will be associated with AFMBioMed Summer School Marcoule 2013.

The School offers an introduction to Atomic Force Microscopy in Life Sciences and Medicine for Ph.D student, post-docs or young scientists. Lectures in the morning are complemented by hands-on experiments in the afternoon. There are about 20 places for students doing hands-on experiments. These places will be given preferentially to European students. Participants are encouraged to send a CV and a motivation letter. AFM beginners are welcome.

 Trainees will be welcomed by CEA Life Sciences Division Institute of environmental biology and biotechnology (CEA/DSV/iBeB/SBTN)

Lectures and training will be organized in building CIS-Bio (Bât 170) CEA MARCOULE.
