[3dem] Crete 2020- 1st International CryoEM Symposium/Workshop - Registration open

[Dr. Christos Gatsogiannis]

Dear all,
We are happy to announce “Crete 2020- 1st International CryoEM Symposium/Workshop”, taking place from 19th to 23rd of October 2020, at the University of Crete, City of Heraklion, Greece.
Full details can be found here:
https://cryoemcrete.com
The course is limited to 32 participants.
 A series of morning lectures will cover fundamental aspects of cryoEM, SPA, tomography, image processing and molecular modelling. Afternoon hands-on sessions will provide practical experience on single particle analysis and sub-tomogram averaging with special emphasis on evaluation of results and model building into high and low resolution cryo-EM maps. Trainees will work together with instructors and have an in-depth hands-on opportunity to learn how to use the software packages SPHIRE (single particle), pyTOM (subtomogram averaging) and the modelling packages PHENIX, COOT, REFMAC (modelling and refinement into cryoEM maps) and several other tools.
 On Day 1 we will additionally hold a symposium. Our invited speakers will highlight recent developments in the field and showcase outstanding recent applications. Participants will have the opportunity to present their own work in a poster session and five poster presenters will be selected for a short talk.
