[3dem] THE SIXTH BRAZIL SCHOOL FOR SINGLE PARTICLE CRYO-EM

[Marin van Heel]

Final announcement:

THE SIXTH BRAZIL SCHOOL FOR SINGLE PARTICLE CRYO-EM.

14-26 August 2014 (Socorro, São Paulo, Brazil) 
(www.single-particles.org/school <http://www.single-particles.org/school>).

Our single-particle school is an intensive 12-day hands-on 
course/workshop, in which theory and practice are tightly intertwined. 
The understanding of the principles of cryo-EM data processing stands 
central in this event and a few pioneers will explain the approaches to 
the participants to the level where they can apply it themselves. The 
spectrum of topics covered suits attendees who are new to the field as 
well as those for whom the technique is of growing importance and who 
wish to acquire an in-depth understanding of the fundamental principles.

The final days of the meeting will be devoted to advanced topics such as 
high-resolution refinements and the processing of heterogeneous data 
sets ("4D cryo--EM"). Special lectures on these subjects will be 
presented by Niko Grigorieff (Janelia Farm), Wah Chiu (Baylor College), 
Bruno Klaholz (IGBMC), Bridget Carragher (Scripps) and Marin van Heel 
(Leiden University). Advanced topics will include:

1) Reaching atomic resolution without reference bias: adhering to "gold 
standard" refinement procedures

2) Automatic, full data-set CTF correction from huge data collection 
experiments (FEI "KRIOS")

3) Optimizing data collection with modern image transducers (direct 
electrons detectors) and exploiting movies

4) Unbiased "Random Startup" of 3D and 4D reconstructions

Kind regards,

Marin van Heel

  NOTE that the 6th Brazil school is already 80% full so don't delay 
your registration!
