Andor Academy Singapore

It is with great pleasure that we would like to invite you to the upcoming Andor Academy at Mechanobiology Institute, NUS in Singapore on August 19th, 20th & 21st 2019.

The theme of this Academy is “Frontiers in high-speed, high-volume imaging, Super-Resolution microscopy and data visualisation”.

This scientific event is filled with cutting-edge scientific talks, interesting technical presentations and practical demo sessions. The academy will feature keynote speakers including Felix Margadant (MBI,NUS), Pakorn Tony Kanchanawong (MBI,NUS), Kok Hao Chen (GIS,A*STAR), Lai Guan Ng (SIgN,A*STAR) and Anjali Gupta (CBIS,NUS).

REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT IS NOW CLOSED. Please contact Marcin Barszczewski or Melvin Sin to check on availability of places.

PLEASE NOTE: Demo Sessions are limited to 15 people per slot. These will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.
