27th International Workshop on “Single Molecule Spectroscopy and Super-resolution Microscopy”

The focus of PicoQuant’s long-standing workshop lies on ultrasensitive optical detection down to the single molecule level as well as beyond the classical diffraction limit. The event provides an interdisciplinary platform for exchanging ideas and recent results between researchers and professionals working in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, life and materials science.

During the workshop, talks and posters are presented that cover a wide range of applications and methods revolving around the challenging field of Single Molecule Spectroscopy.

Covered topics include:

• Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM)
• Single molecule Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (smFRET)
• Polarization and Anisotropy based techniques
• Quantitative imaging methods
• New fluorescence sensors and labeling schemes
• Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) and Fluorescence Lifetime Correlation Spectroscopy (FLCS)
• Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy
• Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (e.g., PALM, STORM, dSTORM, GSDIM, PAINT)
• Open source data analysis solutions
• Big Data and Machine Learning approaches to superresolution and single molecule techniques

Both widefield and confocal fluorescence microscopy techniques are covered as well as in vivo and in vitro measurements with single molecule sensitivity.

Invited speakers:

• Sophie Brasselet (Institut Fresnel, France)
• Ulrike Endesfelder (Rheinische Friedrich Wilhelms University Bonn, Germany)
• Enrico Gratton (University of California Irvine, California, USA)
• Mike Heilemann (Goethe Univeristy Frankfurt am Main)
• Stefan Jakobs (Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Göttingen, Germany)
• Dong Li (Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beihing, China)
• Gail McConnell (University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, United Kingdom)
• David Walt (Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA)

Deadline for abstract submission is June 24, 2022

Final deadline for workshop registration is August 7, 2022
