iNEXT workshop on Integrating X-ray crystallography and scattering together with Electron Microscopy

we hereby announce a 4-day workshop on Integrating X-ray crystallography and scattering together with Electron Microscopy. The course is funded by i-NEXT and will be held at NOVA ITQB, Oeiras (nearby Lisbon), Portugal, May 2 to 5, 2016. The course covers a multidisciplinary approach to study the structure of challenging proteins, focusing on membrane proteins and large complexes. The basic principles will be provided for each addressed technique (Macromolecular Crystallography, Small Angle Scattering and Electron Microscopy); their applications in biological systems, major benefits and limitations will also be discussed. The Workshop is organized with lectures in the mornings followed by hands-on training. The course is aimed primarily at PhD students and young Post-Doctoral researchers interested in Structural Biology. Confirmed speakers are Jose Maria Carazo, Haydyn Mertens and Isabel de Moraes. Participants will be limited to 20. Candidate selection will be based on a short CV, a motivation letter from the applicant, and a recommendation letter from the supervisor. Registration deadline is February 23. Please send your application to combstruct2016@itqb.unl.pt . Registration fee is 180 Eur including accommodation.
