[3dem] IUCr2026: Registration, Abstracts, and Housing are Open Now

Mon Jan 5 11:03:49 PST 2026

Dear all,

Happy new year!

A reminder about the IUCr congress happening in August in Calgary.
Abstracts are due February 15 and discounted registration rates are
available until March 31. More details in Justin's email below.

This should be a great meeting for all structural biologists. While
"crystallography" is in the name of the congress, the meeting will actually
feature plenty of mini symposia on cryoEM-specific topics or topics that
are highly relevant to this community, such as:

- MS011 Synergies between cryoEM, diffraction methods, and complementary
biophysical measurements (Chaired by Holger Stark)
- MS012 Next-generation validation metrics for macromolecular structures
(Co-chaired by Dominika Borek & Deborah Harrus)
- MS021 21st Century Structural Enzymology (Co-Chairs: Ashwin Chari & Janet
Smith)
- MS022 Structural insight into mechanisms of disease in humans, animals,
and plants (Co-Chairs: Hong Zhou & Fasseli Coulibaly)
- MS031 Innovations in algorithms and computational methods in cryoEM
(Co-Chairs: Alexis Rohou & Carlos Oscar Sorzano)
- MS041 Current Trends in Structure-Guided Drug Discovery I (Co-Chairs:
Albert Berghuis & Anne Jecrois)
- MS042 Biological mechanisms illuminated by cryoEM and complementary
methods in vitro (Co-Chairs: Melanie Ohi & John Rubinstein)
- MS051 Current trends in structure-guided drug discovery II (Co-Chairs:
Aled Edwards & Christine Carbone)
- MS052 Biological mechanisms illuminated by cryoET and complementary
methods in situ (Co-Chairs: Stefan Raunser & Liz Wright)
- MS061 Structure-guided protein design/engineering in biomedicine and
biotechnology I (Co-Chairs: Igor Polikarpov & Vanita Sood)
- MS071 Structure-guided protein design/engineering in biomedicine and
biotechnology II (Co-Chairs: Soichi Wakatsuki & Sagar Khare)
- MS081 Innovations in cryoEM and cryoET (Co-Chairs: Wei Dai & Genji Kurisu)
- MS091 Current advances and methodologies in membrane protein structural
biology (Co-Chairs: Shaker Chuck Farah & M. Joanne Lemieux)
- MS094 Integrative approaches to biomacromolecular structure determination
(Co-Chairs: Leonard J Mueller & Jill Chrencik)
- MS102 Large scale structure determination initiatives revisited in the
era of artificial intelligence and machine learning (Co-Chairs: Aled
Edwards & Wladek Minor)
- MS111 Structural biology of receptors and transporters (Co-Chairs:
Hideaki Kato & Giovanna Scapin)
- MS140 Electron crystallography for biological macromolecules (Co-Chairs:
Max Clabbers & Gerhard Hofer)

We hope to see you there!

Cheers,
Alexis
