Expansion Microscopy User Group
Join us on May 19 at 10 am CT (USA)
“The expansion microscopy user group brings together researchers to share experiences to enable rapid uptake of the technology.
The group is open to anyone interested including all career stages and levels of experience with expansion microscopy.”
This series of meetings is organized by Canada BioImaging (CBI), BioImaging North America (BINA), and the Royal Microscopical Society (RMS).
Meetings are the 1st Wednesday of the month, every two months – duplicate alternating meetings in North America and Australian time zones.
Visit the RMS webpage on this User Group for more details!
May 19 2026 event – recorded talk by Virginie Hamel “Unveiling the molecular architecture of the cell using expansion microscopy”

March 10, 2026: Expansion Microscopy in Practice Series: Choosing the Right Protocol – 10 am CT (GMT/UTC- 6.0)
We would like to explore the format and outputs of the user group as a community. In light of this, we are pleased to announce the launch of a new community discussion series organized by the Expansion Microscopy User Group. This series is designed to provide an open, interactive platform for researchers to exchange experiences, discuss methodological considerations, and reflect on best practices in expansion microscopy.
This session is intended to support both new and experienced users of expansion microscopy and to foster cross-laboratory learning within the community.
To help ensure that the discussion is as relevant and informative as possible for participants, we kindly ask that you complete a short form in advance of the meeting. The form contains two questions:
The sample type(s) you are currently using or plan to use for expansion microscopy.
The expansion microscopy protocol(s) you are currently using or plan to use.
Your responses will be used in aggregate to help guide and structure the discussion during the session. We strongly encourage participation, as this information will allow us to better reflect the diversity of experimental contexts and methodological approaches within the community.
