[3dem] THE SIXTH BRAZIL SCHOOL FOR SINGLE PARTICLE CRYO-EM. (OVERSUBSCRIBED)

[Marin van Heel]

Dear All,

The 6^th Brazil school is now oversubscribed and we are *only accepting 
registrations for our waiting list*.

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 fundamental principles of the cryo-EM 
methodology stands central and a few pioneers of the methodology 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 advanced subjects will be 
presented by Niko Grigorieff (Janelia Farm), Wah Chiu (Baylor College), 
Bruno Klaholz (IGBMC),Ardan Patwardhan (EMBL-EBI), 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; exploiting movies)

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

  Kind regards,

  Marin van Heel
