Advanced Diffraction Techniques for Biology

It is our pleasure to announce the second workshop on Advanced Diffraction Techniques for Biology 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 crystallography

  • Neutron diffraction

  • Electron diffraction of nano-crystals

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

This 4 days course will combine theoretical lectures and practicals on EPN instruments (ESRF is closed at the moment, due to its upgrade). 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 19 to November 22, 2019 at the EPN campus, Grenoble, France. To apply, please, send a short CV (1 page max.) and a motivation letter to marta.elzo-aizarna@ibs.fr before September 30, 2019.

The registration is free and includes accommodation and meals on the EPN campus. Selected applicants will be notified by e-mail mid-October. Participants will have to pay for their travel expenses.
