Cryo-EM Data Processing Workshop This 4-day satellite Cryo-EM Data Processing Workshop (May 6-9, 2019) will focus on EMAN2, SPHIRE, CHIMERA, COOT and PHENIX. This marks the rebirth of a long series of EMAN2 workshops previously hosted by the NCMI in Houston over the last 20 years and this year will be hosted by the SCSB at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), Galveston.
The workshop will spend one day on tomography/subtomogram averaging, two days on single particle analysis, and one day on model building and refinement, and will include a mix of hands-on tutorials and theory. This will include a tutorial on the new tomography → high resolution subtomogram averaging pipeline, single particle reconstruction in EMAN2 and SPHIRE, model building, flexible fitting and visualization. Confirmed workshop speakers include * Pavel Afonine (Berkeley Lab, Berkeley) * Steven Ludtke (BCM, Houston) * Pawel Penczek (UT Health Science Center, Houston) * William Rice (New York Structural Biology Center) * Tapu Shaikh (MPI, Dortmund, Germany) * Thomas Smith (UTMB, Galveston) For more information: https://scsb.utmb.edu/symposium/cem-workshop.asp The 24th Annual Structural Biology Symposium You and your colleagues are cordially invited to join us for the 24th Annual Structural Biology Symposium to be held at Levin Hall on the University of Texas Medical Branch Campus on beautiful Galveston Island on Saturday, May 4, 2019.
