The first Mycology Bioimaging practical workshop is live in Cape Town! A unique opportunity to build cutting-edge #microscopy skills in medical #mycology 🔬. @UCT_news @EdinburghUni @wellcometrust @AMI_microscopy.
First Mycology Bioimaging practical component of our workshops. The students got to image live cell fungal and host dynamics on advanced widefield systems and confocal host-pathogen interactions in real time. In C.neoformans, C.albicans and E.Africanus - cool comparisons!
