We would like to announce the Symposium on "Synchrotrons and Lasers for
Structural Systems Biology" to be held on 16th April 2008 at the
premises of the EMBL/DESY in Hamburg, Germany. International experts in
the field of the use of synchrotron radiation in biological research
will present their point of view on how the new synchrotron light
sources including the X-ray free electron lasers under development will
shape biological structural research in the next decades to come.
The symposium will be followed by the 4th Annual Meeting of the
EC-funded BIOXHIT project, 17th - 18th April 2008. Project’s highlights
will be presented in the area of crystallisation technologies,
synchrotron beamlines, beamline endstations and data collection, data
processing and structure determination, databases and networking,
training, implementation and dissemination.
Attendance to the meetings is free of charge.
The registration deadline for the symposium and the BIOXHIT Meeting is
