Workshop Overview
Thursday, Feb. 27th
Workshop speaker: Philipp Mallm
Time: 09:00–12:00
Location: Seminarraum Gastro UKHD
Max. participants: 25
During the workshop we will cover the major techniques for single-cell sequencing, including multi-omics readouts. We will discuss how to plan a project, which steps require specific attention in establishing a (clinical) workflow and ways for efficient use of limited material. Eventually participants will develop a project in groups with timelines, budget and preferred techniques.
For this last step we invite participants to share their (project) ideas or provide specific questions or challenges relevant for their research.
Workshop speaker: Ulrike Engel
Time: 09:00–12:00
Location: Seminarraum Bioquant
Max. participants: 15
This workshop will start with a theoretical part focused on how to set up a proper immunofluorescence experiment where several markers are imaged. This tutorial is based on Dr. Engel’s experience of more then 15 years experience heading a multiuser microscopy core (Nikon Imaging Center) at Heidelberger University. What secondary antibody species can be within one experiment, how to select good fluorophores, how is spectral separation achieved in the microscope, how far can multiplexing go? Participants will become able to design valid experiments and be aware of possible pitfalls in multichannel experiments. Also they can ask questions regarding their own application.
Following this tutorial, participants will have the opportunity to tour the Nikon Imaging Center at Heidelberg University and have a look at what are latest achievements and what applications are possible in advanced fluorescence microscopy including light sheet and super resolution microscopy.
Workshop speaker: Stefan Terjung
Time: 08:00–12:00
Location: EMBL
Max. participants: 3x 5 participants
This workshop provides hands-on training with experts in microscopy. In small groups (max. 5 participants per expert) you will be introduced to a certain method including working on the microscope. This is an advanced microscopy workshop, therefore a solid basic knowledge of microscopy is a requirement for this workshop.
You can choose from one of the following topics (more detailed descriptions will follow soon):
- Two-photon and Second-harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy
- Adaptive feedback microscopy, automating acquisition of rare events
- Using the fluorescence lifetime-based readout to gain more information from biological samples

Time: 08:00–12:00
Location: Chirurgie UKHD
Max. participants: NN
Join the Department of Visceral Surgery at the Heidelberg University Hospital on Thursday morning to experience a pancreatic surgery live at one of the world’s leading hospitals in pancreatic surgery.
Thursday, Feb. 27th – Saturday, Mar. 1st
Workshop speaker: NN
Time: NN
Location: Neue Universität
Max. participants: 2-5
Parallel to the conference program, hands-on training at DaVinci surgical system will be possible for several small groups (2-5 participants per group). These hands-on workshops are aimed specifically at surgical colleagues. A beginner’s workshop will cover the basic operation of the DaVinci surgical system. This workshop does not require any prior knowledge regarding the DaVinci surgical system. Suture training will be offered in an advanced workshop. For this, previous knowledge of the DaVinci surgical system is required.
Workshop speaker: NN
Time: NN
Location: Neue Universität
Max. participants: 4
In addition, in collaboration with Olympus, we will be able to offer endoscopic hands-on workshops parallel to the conference program. There will be a beginners’ workshop that will address the basics of gastroscopy. This workshop is open to anyone interested in endoscopy. In an advanced workshop, endoscopy-experienced participants can practice EUS and ERCP on a model under the guidance of an experienced endoscopist.
