CCP4bb navigationCCP4bb <-- 2007 <-- April 2007 <-- 24 April 2007Subject: Workshop on Advanced Topics in EM Structure Determination From: Clint Potter cpotter {- at -} SCRIPPS {- dot -} EDU Date: 2007-04-24 Sponsored by the National Center for Research Resources Announce A Workshop on Advanced Topics in EM Structure Determination November 10 -16, 2007 National Resource for Automated Molecular Microscopy The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), La Jolla, California. We invite applications to participate in a Workshop on Advanced Topics in EM Structure Determination. The course is aimed at students, postdocs and junior faculty that already have experience practicing cryoEM. We can accommodate ~50 participants. A major goal of the course will be to discuss some of the challenges in cryoEM that remain to be solved, including improvements in specimen preparation, imaging, processing and reconstruction required to reach higher resolutions and solve small structures with limited symmetry or conformational variability. The basic format of the course will be theoretical lectures in the mornings followed by practical demonstrations and panel discussions in the afternoon. Evenings will be reserved for poster presentations by student participants and research talks by instructors. The instructors for the course include: Francisco Asturias (TSRI), Tim Baker (UCSD), Bridget Carragher (TSRI), Anchi Cheng (TSRI), David de Rosier (Brandeis), Ed Egelman (Virginia), Joachim Frank (Albany), Yoshi Fujiyoshi (Kyoto), Bob Glaeser (Berkeley), Niko Grigorieff (Brandeis), Steve Harrison (Harvard), Richard Henderson (MRC), Jack Johnson (TSRI), Elizabeth Kubalek (TSRI), Steven Ludtke (Baylor), Ron Milligan (TSRI), Pawel Penczek (Houston), Clint Potter (TSRI), Fred Sigworth (Yale), Ken Taylor (FSU), Vinzenz Unger (Yale), Nigel Unwin (MRC/TSRI), Thomas Walz (Harvard) and Mark Yeager (TSRI). Applications forms may be found online at the workshop web page: http://nramm.scripps.edu/seminars/2007/cryoem/ Applicants are asked to provide a CV, publication list, a short description of their current work and future plans, and a preliminary title for their poster. A registration fee of $500 will be charged to participants from non-profit institutions. All meals will be provided as part of the course registration fee but participants will be expected to cover their own travel and lodging expenses. Cost of housing is approximately $60/night for a shared room. The course organizers will help coordinate room sharing arrangements. The application deadline is 1 July and a final selection of participants will be made by 1 August.
