2003 Workshop

As part of the educational component of the NIH George M. O'Brien Center Award, the Indiana Center for Biological Microscopy has hosted several intravital workshops for renal researchers throughout the world.

The workshops have provided renal investigators with formal training and hands-on experience with intravital microscopy of the kidney.
