Data collection and analysis in basic, veterinary, and animal science most often requires the use of digital imaging.
Moreover, scientists communicate their work to their peers and to non-scientist by means of images.
Therefore, researchers must know all the necessary tools to properly acquire and process their images, as well as to build figures that effectively illustrate their scientific work.
In addition, in the clinical field, the researchers must be aware of the technical parameters of image acquisition that critically impact the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of anatomical structures and pathology.
Such parameters must be properly reported to achieve maximum transparency.
During this course the PhD students will learn all the necessary steps that lead to the creation of a figure to be published in a scientific journal in their specific field of interest.
The course will cover ground from the acquisition to the submission of the figure, conforming them to publisher’s requirements while ensuring image integrity and transparency.
NOTE: Practical sessions include acquisition of digital images with different microscopes or devices in basic research as well as in a clinical imaging setting.
Students can decide which session to attend according to their research focus. The two practical sessions are organized in different days so that those interested in attending both are welcome and can easily attend both.
We will organize the groups during the first day.
