Dear all, Reminder for CCP-EM Spring Symposium... registration closes this Friday (2nd March).
This conference aims to provide a forum to highlight state of the art developments in computational cryoEM and related themes as well as showcasing outstanding recent applications. We promote an inclusive, friendly atmosphere welcoming both old and new to the community. Topics range from detector developments, image processing, single particle reconstruction, high resolution model building & validation, machine learning, tomography and electron diffraction. The conference will be held 11-12th April at Keele University 2018 conference centre. Confirmed speakers include: Mark Basham (Diamond) SuRVoS: software for volume segmentation. https://diamondlightsource.github.io/SuRVoS/ Sacha de Carlo (Dectris) Detector technologies for high-resolution TEMs. Ana Casanal (MRC-LMB) Architecture of eukaryotic mRNA 3′-end processing machinery. http://science.sciencemag.org/content/358/6366/1056.full Peter Cherepanov (Crick Institute) A supramolecular assembly mediates lentiviral DNA integration. http://science.sciencemag.org/content/355/6320/93.long Paul Emsley (MRC-LMB) Coot model-building. https://www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/personal/pemsley/coot/ Hans-Werner Fink (Zurich University) “Holography with Low-Energy Electrons: a Tool for Single Molecule Structural Biology.” http://www.pnas.org/content/114/7/1474 Achilleas Frangakis (Goethe University Frankfurt) “Image reconstruction and reliability algorithms for electron tomography.” Tim Gruene (Paul Scherrer Institut) "Collecting Diffraction Data with an Electron Microscope."
