The toughest part of this workshop is the travel getting here.
Once you arrive, we promise you'll enjoy this hands-on workshop.
Participants are usually from a variety of scientific backgrounds and
positions in industry, which contributes to the interdisciplinary
learning experience.

Workshops are limited to 10-12 participants so there is ample time
and space to work at the bench or microscopes, ask questions, and have
fun learning the techniques we use for biofilm research.

A CDC biofilm growth reactor provides coupons with the
attached bacteria that are sampled for viable cell counts,
cryosectioning and microscopy, including epifluoresence, confocal
and scanning electron microscopy.

Participants learn the basics of biofilm in our workshop,
and CBE students and staff have fun teaching it.
