Thu Aug 8 11:05:09 PDT 2019

*First Announcement:*

*EMBO Practical course Cryo Electron Microscopy and 3 Dimensional Image
Processing (CEM3DIP 2020): **Single particle cryoEM of
macromolecular-assemblies and cellular tomography*

*19-30 January, 2020, at IISER Kolkata, Kolkata, India.*

            The *EMBO Practical Course *Cryo Electron Microscopy and 3
Dimensional Image Processing (*CEM3DIP 2020): **Single particle cryoEM of
macromolecular-assemblies and cellular tomography* will be held at
IISER-Kolkata <https://www.iiserkol.ac.in/web/en/> in Kolkata
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolkata>, India and IICB-Kolkata
<https://www.iicb.res.in/> (on specimen preparation and data collection
hands-on sessions days).  This is an extensive 10 day practical course that
will be held  from 19  January – 30 January 2020 at IISER-Kolkata (with a 1
day break, to chill out on a group excursion to historic and modern places

Important dates :

*Registration Deadline                         : 15 September 2019*

           The course will focus on structural biology using Transmission
Electron Microscopy and aims to teach the participants the basic principles
and practical aspects of specimen preparation, data collection, Image
processing and 3D reconstruction in Single Particle Cryo Electron
Microscopy(SPCryoEM) and Cellular Tomography.  This is a hands-on course,
in which theory and practicals are tightly intertwined.  There will be a
practical session to teach sample preparation for Single-particle –ve stain
and cryoEM and data collection.  A subset of participants will be
encouraged to bring their samples.  The topics covered will suit both the
new entrants to the field as well as those who want to acquire an in-depth
understanding of the fundamental principles and practical aspects.
Applications are invited from PhD students, Post Docs and Researchers
(Faculties/PI’s and protein crystallographers) who wish to acquire
knowledge in SPCryoEM and Cellular Tomography.  Applicants from all over
the world are encouraged to apply.  For more information please contact the
course coordinator at *cem3dip2020 at iisertvm.ac.in
<cem3dip2020 at iisertvm.ac.in>*.

            *The basic format of the course* will be theoretical lectures
in the mornings followed by hands-on practical sessions on specimen
preparation, data collection and image processing on computer workstations
in the afternoon.  Evenings will be reserved for poster presentations by
the participants and research talks by the participants/instructors.

*The instructors/speakers for the course will include:*

Joachim Frank (Columbia University), Grant Jensen (Caltech), Garib N
Murshudov (MRC-LMB), José María Carazo (CNB-CSIC), Elena Orlova (Birkbeck
College), Elizabeth Wright (University of Wisconsin), Kelly Lee (University
of Washington), Rajendra K Agrawal (Wadsworth Centre), Giulia Zanetti
(Birkbeck College), Montserrat Samsó (VCU), Ana Casañal (MRC-LMB), Arjen
Jakobi (Kavli Institute), Brent L. Nannenga (Arizona State University),
Carlos Oscar S Sorzano (CNB-CSIC), Dmitry Lyumkis (Salk Institute), Osman
Salih (EMBL-EBI), Florence Tama (Nagoya University), Jayati Sengupta
(CSIR-IICB), Manidipa Banerjee (IIT Delhi), Moumita Dutta (ICMR-NICED),
Partha Pratim Datta (IISER Kolkota), Ramanathan Natesh (IISER
Thiruvananthapuram), Smarajit Polley (Bose Institute), Somnath Dutta (IISc).

For more details and to apply for this course kindly visit the course
website *http://meetings.embo.org/event/20-cem3dip
<http://meetings.embo.org/event/20-cem3dip>**. *

The selection will be based on applicants CV, current research project,
relevant skills, future plans and most importantly the quality of the
submitted poster abstract.  Applicants should include in the section “Details
of Current research Project and Statement of Purpose” an explanation of why
attendance at the course would further the applicant's own research.  Having
some preliminary data or exposure to electron microscopy /cryoEM/
tomography will be preferred.  PhD and Postdoctoral applicants should
request their supervisor to send a recommendation letter, before the
application deadline, by e-mail directly to the organizer at
cem3dip2020 at iisertvm.ac.in.  Only selected people from the applicants will
be contacted.  Based on the availability of funds, travel and/or
registration, accommodation bursaries for a subset of selected applicants
can be provided.  If you want to request for registration and/or
accommodation bursaries, mention that explicitly in the space for
‘Justification
for Travel Grant’ and justify your request.   All registered participants
have to present posters on their research work.  A selection of
participants will be invited to give an oral presentation of their ongoing
research work.

We shall truly appreciate if this e-mail print out can be displayed at your
Institute notice board and circulated among your friends, scholars and
students encouraging them to apply for this course.

Sincerely yours,
