We are pleased to announce the 9th edition of the Algorithms in Structural Bioinformatics (AlgoSB) winter school. The aim of AlgoSB is to introduce advanced methods in Structural Bioinformatics in the largest sense, giving special attention to interdisciplinary approaches.  This year's focus will be on modeling in cryo-electron microscopy.

PROGRAM
Each day's course consists of a lecture in the morning followed by a practical session on the participants' computers in the afternoon.
The topics of the classes are the following (details at https://project.inria.fr/algosb2023/lectures/)

I The image alignment problem
  Carlos Oscar Sozano – National Center of Biotechnology, Madrid, Spain

II  From raw data to context
    Christian Dienemann – MPI Gottingen, Germany

III  Combining molecular dynamics and cryo-EM
     Pilar Cossio – Flatiron Institute, New-York, USA

IV  Flexibility in cryo-EM reconstruction
    Johannes Schwab – Cambridge Univ, England

V Hybrid methods for analyzing conformational variability in cryo-EM and cryo-Et data
  Slavica Jonic – CNRS, France
