Dear 3DEM list members,
The American Crystallographic Association
<http://www.amercrystalassn.org/> has formed a new Special Interest
Group for Cryo-electron microscopy. I am delighted to serve as 2018
Chair of the new SIG, and look forward to developing new opportunities
to expand conversations about CryoEM in Structural Biology through
future ACA meetings and events.
There will already belots of excellent discussion about CryoEM at the
2018 Annual ACA Meeting in Toronto
<http://www.amercrystalassn.org/2018-meeting-homepage> (sponsored by the
Biological Macromolecules and Light Sources SIGs). On July 22 there will
be a full day of presentations from CryoEM scientists with morning and
afternoon scientific sessions chaired by Wah Chiu (Stanford U) and Lori
Passmore (MRC-LMB). Invited speakers include:
Joachim Frank (Columbia University) (tentative)
Nieng Yang (Princeton U)
Maofu Liao (Harvard U)
Kiyoshi Nagai (MRC LMB, Cambridge)
Xiaodong Zhang (Imperial College, London)
Gabe Lander (Scripps research Institute)
Wah Chiu, Lori Passmore, and John Rubinstein (U Toronto) are also
co-organizing a full day workshop on July 20 entitled “CryoEM – A guide
to high-resolution structure determination.” The aim of the workshop is
to provide a detailed overview of specimen preparation, image processing
and building/refinement of atomic models, with focus on high-resolution
single particle cryo-EM. Aspects of image processing and modelling will
be hands-on with state-the-art programs used by workshop students to
process sample datasets.
Please mark your calendars and join us in Toronto!
Best wishes,
Cathy Lawson
Rutgers University
