Insight into the technology platforms – review of first Open Day
Our first Open Day on 31 January was a great success and we were delighted to welcome so many participants from a wide range of institutions and departments.
After a warm welcome from the University's Vice-President for Research and the MIN Faculty's Vice-Dean for Research, the event informed all participating researchers and students about the technologies and support available at the UHH Technology Platforms Mass Spectrometry, Electron Microscopy, Light Microscopy, Electron Cryo-Microscopy and the CHyN Clean Room. The theme running through all presentations was: How can you use the platforms and how can your research benefit from the technologies and services offered by the platforms? In addition, users presented research highlights and told how their research is supported by the platforms.
In the afternoon, the Mass Spectrometry, Electron Microscopy, Light Microscopy and Electron Cryo-Microscopy platforms offered guided tours to introduce the available technologies from a hands-on perspective.
