Dear Colleague, PHARE is a modular workshop on global phase retrieval to be held in Martina Franca (Bari, Italy) on April 2009. The workshop is focused on crystallographic methods for phase determination and refinement: participants will be trained on the bases of the methods and on the latest advances. Demonstration of the software packages will be made in computer sessions. PHARE will cover powder and small molecule crystallography as well as macromolecular area. It consists of three modules:
Module 1 - Crystal structure solution and refinement from powder data Module 2 - Macromolecular crystal structure solution via AB INITIO, SIR-MIR, SAD-MAD and MOLECULAR REPLACEMENT techniques Module 3 - Phasing small molecules. Applicants should choose the modulus of interest. For a more complete information consult the web site http://phare.ic.cnr.it Please, note that the registration deadline is 10 December 2008. A number of grants to cover hotel costs is available for young scientists. Unfortunately, due to limited resources, travel expenses cannot be refunded in any case.
