[3dem] 2009 EMBO course on images processing in Birkbeck College

[Elena Orlova]

Dear All,

My apology to everybody!
The course will take place in 2009.
Therefore the deadline for applications will be Monday 1 June 2009.

Dear Friends  

We are pleased to announce that we are running the next EMBO practical 
course on image processing for cryo-electron microscopy in Birkbeck 
College , London . This 10 day course will run from 7-17 September 2009.
( http://www.ismb.lon.ac.uk/embocourse.html)

Deadline for applications: Monday 1 June 2009.

The aim of the course is to teach the basic principles and practical 
aspects of image processing to bioscientists and structural biologists 
wishing to determine macromolecular structures by cryo electron 
microscopy (EM). The course will concentrate on processing of single 
particle images, and will be aimed at advanced PhD students and postdocs 
working on projects producing cryo EM images for structural analysis. 
Familiarity with UNIX would be an advantage. Morning sessions will 
include three 50-minute lectures, breaks and a discussion period. A 
3-hour practical would take place in the afternoon, with discussion time 
at the end. After dinner there will be research seminars or student 
presentations.

Applications are invited from PhD students and researchers in EM. There 
is no course fee except for industrial attendees in which case a fee is 
payable directly to EMBO. Food and accommodation will be provided 
throughout the course but all attendees must pay for and arrange their 
own travel.

Applications should include: a Curriculum vitae; a publication list; a 
short description of your current work and future plans; an explanation 
of why attendance at the course would further the applicant's own research.

Applications should be sent by mail to:
Anne-Cécile Maffat
Institute of Structural Molecular Biology
School of Crystallography
Birkbeck
Malet Street
London WC1E 7HX
United Kingdom
