CEM Summer School 2025
On the 3rd and 4th of July 2025, the annual Summer School of the PhD specialization program Cutting Edge Microscopy (CEM) took place at Schwarzsee in the canton of Fribourg, Switzerland. During these two days the CEM PhD students presented their own projects, focusing on the data obtained with microscopy. In lively discussions they received feedback and gained fresh perspectives on their research.
The students’ presentations were accompanied by talks from senior researchers Jens Stein (University of Fribourg, UniFR) and Maria Rosito (Link Campus University, Italy), who shared valuable insights from their projects. Ana Stojiljković and Ruben Lopez (Data Science Lab, UniBE) presented the progress of the VIBE platform (UniBE) and how it will support image analysis in the future.
There was interactive and creative fun with the “Build Your Own Microscope” challenge, led by Head of Bioimage core facility Boris Egger and Bioimage Analyst Felix Meyenhofer (both UniFR). To clear heads and enjoy the beautiful alpine scenery the students (and professors) got to go on a 4km Monster-Trottinett ride down the Riggisalp — an unforgettable experience for all.
