The online workshop took place on 30th September 2025, and brought together researchers to explore current advances in tissue clearing.
We are now delighted to present online access to the Tissue clearing workshop: Approaches to fundamentals.
Over the last decade, we have seen an ever-increasing number of clearing protocols, leaving scientists wondering which method will be suitable for their samples and provide answers to their research questions.
This workshop, supported by Miltenyi Biotec offers a unique opportunity to learn the fundamentals of tissue clearing and provides guidance on determining suitable approaches for clearing different types of samples.
