[Call for Interest] The University is planning to introduce the Syncell Microscoop® spatial biology targeting platform and is surveying faculty and researchers regarding their interest and research needs. Dear Faculty Members and Researchers, To further strengthen our institution’s research capacity and international competitiveness in Precision Medicine and Spatial Biology, the University is currently evaluating the introduction of Syncell Microscoop®, a cutting-edge spatial proteomics platform developed by a Taiwanese research team. This system is the world’s first technology capable of precisely targeting and profiling proteins at the subcellular level using light-guided labeling. We hereby invite faculty members and research personnel who have an interest in or potential research needs for this technology to express their willingness to participate. Your feedback will serve as a key reference for future equipment acquisition decisions and the formation of interdisciplinary research collaborations. I. Core Technology and Advantages of Syncell Microscoop® Syncell Microscoop® integrates AI-based image recognition with two-photon laser-guided targeting technology, enabling automated and highly precise labeling of predefined regions of interest (ROIs). Its standardized workflow includes: AI-assisted Identification Automated recognition and localization of specific subcellular structures. Precision Labeling Laser-guided induction of fluorescence-based protein biotinylation within the targeted region. Sample Extraction Isolation and purification of biotinylated proteomes from the labeled subcellular compartments. Deep Proteomic Profiling High-sensitivity protein identification and analysis through mass spectrometry. This technology overcomes long-standing technical barriers in conventional proteomics by enabling accurate subcellular sampling and molecular characterization, opening new possibilities for spatially resolved biological and biomedical research. II.

Introduction:   After decades of advancement, the electron microscope has become an indispensable tool in modern scientific research. Ultrathin sectioning technology is an essential step in electron microscopy sample preparation. In recent years, with technological progress, ultrathin sectioning has evolved—from room temperature to cryogenic conditions, and from two-dimensional to three-dimensional imaging.   This workshop focuses on introducing the complete workflow of SEM 3D ultrathin section reconstruction, including sample preparation, section collection, and SEM imaging reconstruction. We welcome all faculty members and students to attend this section collection system workshop. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. He at extension #5065. ========================================= 【Workshop Schedule】:   ◆3D Sample Preparation and SYM Cuesta Section Collection System (Oral Presentation) : Date: Wednesday, December 17, 2025 Time: 10:00 AM – 11:00 PM Venue: 4th Floor, Area B, Room 0459, Microscopy Center, First Medical Building, Chang Gung University Speaker: Mr. Shao-Hsuan Lin, Instrument Specialist, Minerva Technology ◆Next-Generation Biological Scanning Electron Microscopy: Volume EM and Correlative Microscopy (Oral Presentation): Date: Wednesday, December 17, 2025 Time: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM Venue: 4th Floor, Area B, Room 0459, Microscopy Center, First Medical Speaker: Mr. Kang-You Fan, Application Engineer, Carl Zeiss ◆Hands-on Practice: Date: Wednesday, December 17, 2025 Time: 14:00 PM – 17:00 PM Venue: 4th Floor, Area B, Room 0459, Microscopy Center, First Medical Building, Chang Gung University Speaker: Mr. Shao-Hsuan Lin, Instrument Specialist, Minerva Technology ※Notice Due to limited space, early registration is recommended.It is suggested that each laboratory send at least one representative to participate.   Registration Link: https://forms.gle/iLweuu9SZ28uz6zA8 ※Kindly respond before December 16 (Tuesday).
