[3dem] A source of knowledgeable image processing specialists...

[Marin van Heel]

__


A bottleneck in structural biology by 3D single-particle cryo-EM is the 
availability of specialists for processing the data from the point of 
data collection (in a microscopy centre like www.NeCEN.nl) to the 
interpretation of the final results. This processing requires access to 
powerful parallel computers and to the appropriate software (like our 
IMAGIC package). Most of all, however, it requires data processing 
specialists with the time and drive to "monomanically" pursue a project 
until completion over a period of say three or six months. With modern 
international communication technology now becoming a routine ("Skype"), 
integrating a specialist - somewhere in the world - into a short-term 
project could be a real alternative. I am wondering whether PIs would be 
interested in setting up such rapid-results "virtual collaboration" type 
of projects.

Cheers,
