The iCAPTURE Centre Schedule of Seminars
and Events
Every week a calendar is released
for events and seminars that are occurring with the St. Paul's Hospital
and iCAPTURE Centre facilities. Staff and students alike are encouraged
to attend the events that you will read about below. For an updated
list of events occurring in the iCAPTURE Centre please click on the
link below. The following types of activities
are included:
-
Research in Progress
seminars (every Monday at 9:00am). Graduate
students or post-doctoral fellows, present their "research
in progress" to other iCAPTURE researchers. The idea
behind these seminars is for a critical, but supportive audience
to give
feedback at the conceptual or analytic stage of the trainees'
research program.
- iCAPTURE Centre Seminar
series. This session involves the invitation of experts in
specific fields from the UBC campus and collaborating institutions
to give state-of-the-art talks. These sessions are designed
to encourage collaboration between groups at the various UBC
campuses
(Children's and Women's, Vancouver Hospital and St Paul's
Hospital) and at collaborating institutions and to bring students,
post-doctoral
fellows and faculty up-to-date on the latest development
in the particular area of expertise of the speaker.
- Technology Series.
As the iCAPTURE Centre revolves around technically advanced topics
and instrumentation; vendors are often on site to demonstrate,
update, and teach short courses on and about their area of expertise.
For example, Carsen Group has provided short courses on ImagePro
software. We are often asked to host Vendor Information
sessions on new equipment. The schedule of events will highlight
these upcoming events at the iCAPTURE Centre.
- Professional Development Series. In collaboration with the UBC Facility of Medicine, we have organized Career Day for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows as well as post-doctoral fellows specific half day workshops. There are also numerous one hour and half day workshops at the iCAPTURE Centre; includes topics such as: negotiating skills, grant writing, lab management, poster and oral presentation skills, research ethics, statistics and more.
-
Short courses and workshops. Short courses based on our equipment/ technology platforms and/or experimental design and expertise, will be offered to technicians, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and faculty members at UBC sites and collaborating institutions. If you are interested in continuing education on our available technology please contact Jacqui Brinkman.
