[3dem] Announcing the 4th semi-annual NCMI Workshop on Single Particle Reconstruction, Map Interpretation and Visualization

[Steven Ludtke]

http://ncmi.bcm.edu/ncmi/events/workshops/workshops_91

December 10-13, 2008

Texas Learning and Computation Center
University of Houston

Registration Deadline : October 1, 2008  (but some precedence may be  
given to early registrants if we are oversubscribed, as usual)

This four day workshop will cover:

     * General scientific image processing background
     * Single particle processing (EMAN2)
     * Interpretation of intermediate resolution structures
     * Homology modeling and model building

This workshop will be the first formal introduction of EMAN2, and  
single particle reconstruction tutorials will use this major new EMAN  
release rather than EMAN1 as in previous workshops. We will also cover  
additional software such as SPARX (Penczek), AIRS (Baker), Modeller  
(Sali) and Gorgon (Baker). We have shifted the traditional time in  
early spring to coordinate with workshops offered by NRAMM in  
alternate years. As usual, the workshop will take place at the TLC^2  
on the University of Houston campus, which offers a large computer  
teaching classroom. The specific workshop dates were selected based on  
availability of the venue, and we apologize if it overlaps with the  
end of the academic term.

Introductory lectures on general image processing theory mixed with a  
few selected research talks will be given each morning, followed by  
practical sessions each afternoon. Tutorials will take place in the  
computer teaching classroom, which can seat ~50 students with  
individual PCs. Due to computer availability, registration will be  
limited. Please provide information on the registration page  
indicating some of your background and reasons for attending the  
workshop. Acceptance emails will confirm registration once the  
registration period closes.

The entire workshop is free of charge, including most meals, though  
participants will be responsible for their own travel and lodging.  
Some additional funds MAY be available for those needing additional  
assistance, but at most we will be able to cover lodging expenses.  
Please indicate requests for hotel funding on the registration page.  
Also indicate whether you would be unable to attend without travel  
assistance.

Please address any general questions about the workshop to sludtke at bcm.edu
