Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the 2014 EMBO practical course on
"Computational Structural Biology - from data to structure to function"
will be held at EMBL-EBI, 7th - 11th April, 2014.
Now in its 5th consecutive year, this unique and highly popular
practical course covers computational aspects of protein structure
determination, validation and analysis, including background in X-ray
crystallography, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, Electron
Microscopy and Small-angle X-ray scattering and hands-on experience in
model building from X-ray diffraction data, comparing and integrating
different types of structural data, and the differences in
interpretation. Participants will also learn how to critically examine
and validate data from these techniques.
The course is aimed at PhD students and post-docs working on the
collection and analysis of protein structure data. The goal is to
provide them with insight into the protein structure determination
process, training on how to critically assess the quality of data and
models, and expertise in the integration and visualisation of data from
different techniques, thus allowing the analysis of protein structure
data for functional relationships.
For more information and to apply, please go to:

Application deadline: 31st January 2014
We look forward to receiving your application!
Kind regards,
Gary Battle
