[3dem] Tomography Congress

[Jensen, Grant J.]

Please mark your calendars that the 7th International Congress on Electron Tomography will be held Nov. 17-20 at the beautiful Occidental Grand Xcaret resort hotel  near Cancun, Mexico.  Following the tradition set by the highly successful previous meetings in Germany (1999), Amsterdam (2001), New York (2002), San Diego (2005), Brisbane (2008), and Heidelberg (2011), the conference will bring together researchers working on hardware development, software development, and applications of electron tomography, particularly in biology. It will showcase breakthroughs in both electron tomography technology and cell biology applications.
Topics covered will include:

• Recent developments in cryosectioning and FIB-milling
• Correlative light and electron microscopy
• Automatic tilt-series acquisition and reconstruction software
• Direct detectors
• High-throughput, large-scale reconstructions of plastic embedded samples
• Latest developments in sub-tomogram classification and averaging
• Map interpretation, model fitting
• Example recent high impact biological results

The hotel and surrounding area is truly gorgeous, so I hope everyone will enjoy taking a short break from winter with us in Cancun.

For registration, site information, and abstract submission, please see the conference web page at

Register by Sept 30 or by May 25 for an "early bird" discounted rate.  In an effort to spotlight all the most exciting projects, in addition to the invited speakers there will be many talks chosen from the submitted abstracts (due Sept. 1).

Hope to see you there!

Grant
