[3dem] Microscopy & Microanalysis 2018 (Paper submission deadline: February 15, 2018)

[Wright, Elizabeth R.]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to bring to your attention to the many 3DEM-related symposia and educational opportunities at the upcoming Microscopy & Microanalysis meeting (M&M 2018). M&M 2018 will be held August 5-9, 2018 in Baltimore, MD.

B03: 3D Structures: from Macromolecular Assemblies to Whole Cells (3DEM FIG)

Organizers: Joaquin Ortega, Michael Radermacher, Teresa Ruiz

•Structural studies of biological systems using cryo-EM techniques and hybrid methodologies

•Cellular architecture, metabolism, trafficking, communication and division 

•Gene regulation, transcription and translation

•Host-pathogen interactions including bacterial adhesion, motility, and secretion

•Virus-host interactions and virus structure

•In situ TEM and SEM of biological specimens





B08: 3D Structure of Complex Soft Materials Derived From Electron Tomography

Organizers: Deborah Kelly, Steven Ludtke, Elizabeth Wright

•The use of electron tomography (ET) to interrogate biological and soft materials specimens
•Advancements in tomographic specimen preparation

•Correlative microscopy – stronger together: LM/EM, AFM/EM, X-ray/EM, AP/EM

•New tools to achieve correlative microscopy with minimal artifacts (e.g. tags)

•Cutting edge developments in the integration of correlative/ tomographic data
•Advances in 3D reconstruction techniques: from sub-volume averaging to high-resolution structures





A13: Pushing the Limits of Cryo-EM

Organizers: Mike Marko, Anchi Cheng

•Sample preparation, including cryo-FIB

•EM instrumentation (cameras, phase plates, automation)

•Image processing for single-particle and tomographic reconstruction

•Applications using cutting-edge technology


The meeting showcases the latest technical and scientific developments in the field of microscopy and microanalysis. Of great interest are the following stimulating tutorials, Sunday short courses, and additional interesting symposia:

Tutorials:
X43: Cryo-FIB: Overcoming the Hurdle of Sample Preparation for in situ Cryo-Electron Tomography

Speaker: Miroslava Schaffer


X44: Single-particle Cryo-EM: Data Processing Techniques for Obtaining Optimal Results
Speaker: Ali Punjani



X45: How to Get Funding for Instrumentation When Budgets Are Tight (Parts I and II)


Sunday Short Courses:
X10: Exploring Cryo-Preparation Techniques for Biological Samples
Lead Instructors: Danielle Jorgens and Elizabeth Fischer

X12: Practical Considerations for Image Analysis and ImageJ and Clemex Vision
Lead Instructor: James Grande

X13: SerialEM for EM Data Acquisition
Lead Instructors: David Mastronarde, Cindi Schwartz and Guenter Resch


Additional Symposia:
A04 - In situ Transmission Electron Microscopy in Liquid and Gas Cells
Organizers: B. Layla Mehdi, Damien Alloyeau, Niels de Jonge and Larry Allard

B05 - Focused on Microbes!
Organizers: Alice Dohnalkova and Xiao-Ying Yu
