The EU-funded research consortium “NEURINOX”, searching for answers to neurodegenerative
diseases, is offering students a unique opportunity to participate in an exciting event organised
in connection to a conference which will be held in Torino, Italy on 23-25 September 2015.

The event will be a great opportunity to discover medical science, learn more about
neurodegenerative diseases, travel and meet new people from all over Europe. All costs related to the travel and subsistence will be taken in charge by the NEURINOX research consortium.

If you are interested, please sign up BEFORE 29 JUNE.

Gerne möchten wir Sie darauf aufmerksam machen, dass wir kürzlich noch einige wenige freie Austauschplätze im Rahmen unserer gesamtuniversitären Abkommen ausschreiben konnten, und zwar für Austauschsemester im FS 2016 (eine Liste dazu finden Sie unter http://www.int.uzh.ch/out/program/world/university/vacant.html).
Studierende, die die Bewerbungsfrist im Januar nicht einhalten konnten, oder die sich nun kurzfristig noch für einen Austausch im FS 16 interessieren, haben die Möglichkeit, sich bis zum 10. August 2015 bei der Abteilung Internationale Beziehungen um diese freien Plätze zu bewerben.

Dear colleagues,

I am happy to announce the coming Introductory course in flow cytometry (BIO 632), organized by the Institute of Experimental Immunology.

The „little brother“ to our well established Comprehensive course in flow cytometry, the introductory course is aimed at beginners in the field of flow cytometry. It is a 4 day course with ample hands-on work

– in the lab (preparing samples for the experiment)
– at the instrument (each student gets to learn how to operate the equipment and acquire his/her own data)
– at the computer (data analysis)
– in front of the „audience“ (presenting flow cytometry data)

In order to assure each participant gets enough opportunity to work on his/her own, the number of participants is limited to 20.

The course is taking place on June 15-18th (less than 2 weeks from now) at Irchel campus and is free of charge (courtesy of the Institute of Experimental Immunology, Biolegend and eBioscience).

Registration is possible until Thursday, June 11th.

If you need additional information or you wish to register for the course, please write to tosevski@immunology.uzh.ch.

Best regards,
Vinko
