Overview
What you will study
In this Integrated Materials and Life Science course offered by Hokkaido University we will discuss the basic principles of spatiotemporal correlation, differences between different modalities, artefacts and corrections of these, and the application of different fluorescence correlation modalities to various biological questions. The course will contain computer practical to provide the students with the opportunity to test their understanding of concepts. After the course the students should be able to make informed decisions on which correlation modality to apply to which problem and how to perform the measurements and the data evaluation.
At the end of the course the student will be able:
- Describe the theoretical background of spatial and temporal correlations and their implementation in the different FCS modalities.
- Evaluate FCS data consistently with checks of quality of fit and selection of correct fit models.
- Evaluate the different pros and cons and make an informed decision of how to correct FCS data.
- Decide which FCS method to use for different biological applications.

Student insurance
Make sure to cover your health, travel, and stay while studying abroad. Even global coverages can miss important items, so make sure your student insurance ticks all the following:
- Additional medical costs (i.e. dental)
- Repatriation, if something happens to you or your family
- Liability
- Home contents and baggage
- Accidents
- Legal aid
