of a series of practical hands-on workshops started in 2018.
This workshop is aimed at PhDs, PostDocs and scientists new to
the field of single particle cryo-EM and will be held at the
European Synchrotron, EMBL Grenoble and the Institut de
Biologie Structurale (IBS) in Grenoble, France from <b>November 5<sup>th</sup>
