<div class="Section1">Dear colleagues,
<br>
<br>
We have teamed up with a number of collaborators to organize this 6-day
training workshop April 17-23, 2006, in Houston<br>
<br>
"Innovations in Nanoscale Modeling and Imaging of Biological Systems",
<br>
see <a href="http://situs.biomachina.org/hn06/">http://situs.biomachina.org/hn06/</a>
<br>
<br>
The major goal of this workshop is to train participants from the
fields of electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction in the use of
modeling, imaging, and visualization software, with an emphasis on
interfaces with compatible software used in the structural biology
community. A secondary goal is to foster an alliance with innovative
leaders in the private sector and
academia, so software developers can build on their strenghts in a
compatible mode with other groups. <br>
<br>
I am happy to confirm the following speakers:<br>
<ul>
<li>Philip R. Baldwin, U.T. Houston Med. School </li>
<li>James Z. Chen, Brandeis U. </li>
<li>Yao Cong, Baylor College of Medicine </li>
<li>Edward H. Egelman, U. Virginia </li>
<li>Tetsuro Fujisawa, SPring-8 Synchrotron, RIKEN, Japan </li>
<li>Nikolaus Grigorieff, Howard Hughes Medical Institute &
Brandeis U. </li>
<li>Masahide Kikkawa, UT Southwestern, Dallas </li>
<li>Steve Ludtke, Baylor College of Medicine </li>
<li>Essam Metwally, Tripos, Inc. </li>
<li>Pawel Penczek, U.T. Houston Med. School </li>
<li>John Stone, U. Illinois </li>
<li>Pam Thuman-Commike, QED Labs, Inc. </li>
<li>Willy Wriggers and lab members: Stefan Birmanns, JJ Heyd, Zhiyong
Zhang, John M. Robinson, Julius Wan </li>
<li>Z. Hong Zhou, U.T. Houston Med. School</li>
</ul>
The
workshop is free and we cover meals and lodging, which should make
participation for out of town visitors affordable. If
you would like to attend this, please submit the online application
form early, the application deadline is February 15.
<br>
<br>
Kind regards,
<br>
