[3dem] Registration: 54th course of International School of Crystallography on the topic of 3D CryoEM image analysis (Erice, Sicily)

[Dorit Hanein]

We would like to remind  everyone  that the  deadline for registration for the 54th course of the International School of Crystallography on the topic of 3D CryoEM image analysis is Nov 30, 2018.  The International School of Crystallography (ISCoC) will take place May 31st-June 8th, 2019  in Erice, Sicily.  The ISCoC is a Scientific Session of the Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture (EMFCSC) devoted to promoting structural biology knowledge for the international scientific community.  The School was officially started in 1974 under the scientific direction of Nobel Laureate Dorothy Hodgkin, and Lodovico Riva di Sanseverino (Bologna University). Professor Sir Tom Blundell, FRS, (Cambridge University, UK) is the current scientific director of the School.

The 54th course, will be  the inaugural School on 3D CryoEM image analysis at Erice. 3D Cryo-EM image analysis refers to the current practices in image processing and analysis both for  single particle analysis and  tomography. The School aims at providing a current snapshot of this evolving field, complete with workshops demonstrating state-of-the art software. Topics will include: Deep learning,  map validation and improvement , GPU processing and data handling, cellular tomography, sub-tomogram averaging, and automated data collection. Keynote talks will be delivered by Joachim Frank, David DeRosier and Wolfgang Baumeister.

Attendance to the ISCoC is by application. We will expect 80 total participants, selected from the most geographical diverse student body possible, to enable and facilitate international collaborations. For the same reason, lecturers and students are encouraged to spend the full period of the course in Erice to optimize the person-to-person exchange of ideas and expertise.

We encourage you to register soon!  Poster abstracts must be submitted  to be included in the program and, more importantly,  to be considered for the short talk sessions.

The preliminary program and registration details can be found at ( https://crystalerice.org/2019/ )

See you soon in  Erice,

 Dorit Hanein, Steven Ludtke and Stefan Raunser , Directors of the Course
