Applications of microscopy technologies for the discovery of molecular targets against infectious diseases

das Brasilien-Zentrum der Universität Tübingen lädt Sie zum  „Applications of microscopy technologies for the discovery of molecular targets against infectious diseases" mit Dr. Edmarcia Elisa de Souza der University of São Paulo (USP) ein.

A lot of what we know about diseases such as malaria and viral infection is because of the microscopy technologies. Besides being key player tool in diagnostics and therapeutics, this incredibly technique has allowed scientists to address complex spatio-temporal dynamics of living systems at a sufficient resolution to provide the most realistic representations of the biological systems. For example, microbiologists and virologists can resort to following the consequence of an infectious agent, which is usually cell death. In this regard, the pathogen can be left to spread freely across a cell and the effect (phenotype) can be measured using dyes that distinguish live from dead cells.

This presentation will focus on state-of-art of fluorescence microscopy technology demonstrating how infections caused by pathogens Plasmodium falciparum or SARS-Cov-2, are responsible for malaria and Covid-19, respectively.

Mittwoch, 29. September 2021, 3 PM Brasilien - 8 PM Deutschland, ein.
Veranstaltung auf Englisch.
