Event Description
The recent meeting in the popular series of Botanical Microscopy meetings took place at the University of Salzburg organised by Ursula Ltz-Meindl, Nick Read and Chris Hawes. The meeting covered the very latest developments in imaging technologies as applied to the plant sciences and also the latest hot topics in plant cell biology.
Speakers include:
Anne-Mie Emons (Wageningen) Cell wall modelling
Karl Oparka (Edinburgh) New developments in fluorescent probes and live cell imaging
Barbara Valent (Kansas State) Rice blast penetration through plasmodesmata
Jiri Friml (Tubingen) Auxin and PIN recycling
Iris Meier (Ohio State) Nuclear envelope proteins
Sid Shaw (Indiana University) Live cell imaging microtubule dynamics
Mark Fricker (Oxford) Long distance transport in fungal hyphae
David Logan (St Andrews) Mitochondrial dynamics
All registrants will have to arrange their own accommodation in Salzburg There is a wide variety of hotels in and around the city, click here to download a list. Early booking is necessary in order to secure a room as this time of year is particularly busy.
The City of Salzburg
Salzburg is the third city of Austria and the capital of the province bearing its name. It has a population of 150,000 and attracts close to 7 million visitors each year. Encircled by mountains and straddling the river of Salzach, this beautiful city has a dramatic setting that matches its own Baroque splendour. With its Alpine surroundings and an historic centre that was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1997, Salzburg really is just as lovely as the city portrayed in The Sound of Music. With cobbled streets, narrow alleyways, elegant, secluded squares and fabulous architecture almost everywhere the city has an air of cosmopolitan sophistication.
And as the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Salzburg has developed an incredibly rich musical life that would no doubt have made the great composer genius proud.

About the Department
The Department of Cell Biology offers an integrated program of study and research in molecular, cellular and developmental biology leading to a Ph.D. degree. The program is supervised by approximately twenty faculty members working in the areas of cellular aging, biosynthetic and morphogenetic analysis of cellular substructures and cellular physiology. The model systems used are yeast cells, selected algae, Arabidopsis, mamalian cell lines and tissues ( hepatocytes, muscle cells, nerve cells, skin cells) State of the art facilities, equipment and methods for genetic, biochemical, molecular and biological structure analysis are routinely employed within the Department or are available within shared facilities within the life sciences. Added scientific value comes from a research group, which concentrates on the development of physiological and biochemical methods to study modulators of muscle contraction. The Departments scientific output is fuelled by excellent funding by the EU and national granting agencies and a competitive publication record
