Advanced Diffraction Techniques for Biology

The first workshop on Advanced Diffraction Techniques for Biology will take place in the EPN campus at Grenoble, France. The course will cover X-rays, neutrons and electrons diffraction by crystals of biological macromolecules.

Various techniques will be investigated:

• Macromolecular crystal growth
• In situ (in plate) X-ray diffraction
• Serial X-ray crystallography
• Time resolved X-ray crystallogra8phy
• Neutron diffraction
• Electron diffraction of nano-crystals

with the aim of solving de novo structures, searching ligands, elucidating reaction mechanisms...

This 1-week course will combine theoretical lectures and practicals on ESRF beamlines and other EPN instruments. It is dedicated to researchers (advanced PhD, PostDoc, Scientist) interested in macromolecular structural studies at atomic resolution using crystallographic approaches.

The course will take place from November 5 to November 9, 2018 at the EPN campus, Grenoble, France. To apply, please, send a short CV (1 page max.) and a motivation letter to Cette adresse e-mail est protégée contre les robots spammeurs.

The registration is free and includes accommodation and meals on the EPN campus. Selected applicants will be notified by e-mail on September 30, 2018. Participants will have to pay for their travel expenses. More details about the workshop can be found on the dedicated web site: http://workshops.ibs.fr/adtb-2018
