What the SCOPE! Imaging Seminar Series

The Cell Sciences Imaging Facility (CSIF), a Beckman Service Center, will be hosting a seminar series starting with:

Jon Mulholland, Director CSIF: Overview of CSIF resources

Anum Khan, Staff Scientist:

Highly multiplex tissue imaging: CODEX

Date/Time: Thursday, October 24 @ 3pm (networking reception to follow)

Location: Beckman Center, Munzer Auditorium

The series begins with an overview of imaging technologies available in the facility, followed by an in-depth presentation of the new, highly multiplex tissue imaging and analysis service: CODEX.

The seminar series is open and free to the Stanford community.
