COURSE ANNOUCEMENT Introduction to complementary optical spectroscopic methods in macromolecular crystallography ESRF-EMBL-IBS, Grenoble, France, 19 - 21 September 2012
The COSMX training event will be hosted by the ESRF in Grenoble, France, from 19 to 21 of September 2012. The course addresses young scientists and students who intend to apply in crystallo optical spectroscopy techniques to macromolecular crystallography. The course will train selected participants through a series of lectures, practicals, on both on-line and off-line ESRF facilities, and tutorials, that will include, UV-vis absorption, Raman spectroscopy and Fluorescence. Relevance of these technique for radiation damage studies will also be discussed. Confirmed tutors include: Philippe Carpentier (ESRF Grenoble, France) Daniele de Sanctis (ESRF Grenoble, France) Florian Dworkowski (SLS - PSI Villigen, Switzerland) Martin Fuchs (SLS - PSI Villigen, Switzerland) Mike Hough (University of Liverpool, UK) Max Nanao (EMBL Grenoble Outstation, France) Robin Owen (DLS Didcot, UK) Arwen Pearson (University of Leeds, UK) Alexander Popov (ESRF Grenoble, France) Antoine Royant (IBS/ESRF, Grenoble, France) David von Stetten (ESRF Grenoble, France) Martin Weik (IBS/ESRF, Grenoble, France) The number of participants is limited to 15 and the deadline for application is July 20th, 2012.
