[3dem] EMBO practical course on image processing for cryo-electron microscopy, 3 September – 13 September 2013, London

[Elena Orlova]

Dear ALL

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 *3 September – 13 
September 2013*.
http://www.ismb.lon.ac.uk/embocourse.html

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.
