Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the virtual annual CCP4/APS crystallographic
school “From data collection to structure refinement and beyond” will be
held on June 13-24, 2022 at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), Argonne
National Laboratory (ANL), near Chicago, Illinois, USA. All details can
be found at the school website:
http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-2022/index.php.
Dates: June 6 (Bioinformatics & setup) and June 13 through 24, 2022
(with a weekend break on June 18 and 19th)
Location: Virtual/Remote
The school comprises two parts: remote data collection workshop and
virtual crystallographic computing workshop. Data collection workshop
includes beamline training, data collection on GM/CA at APS beamlines
23ID-D and 23ID-B equipped with Pilatus3 6M and Eiger 16M detectors
respectively, and data processing. For data collection, only the
participants’ crystals will be used. Crystallographic computation
workshop will feature many modern crystallographic software packages
taught by authors and other experts. The daily schedule will be
organized in three sections – lectures, tutorials, and hands-on
(interactive troubleshooting of the technical difficulties the
participants face in their projects). We have had considerable success
resolving these problems in past years, attested by resulting
publications (see
http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-school/publications.php). A draft of
the program, contact info and other details can be found at the School
website. Note that for the virtual school, an additional day (June 6th,
2022) was scheduled to prepare for the main event, with lectures on
generating AlphaFold models to use in later part of the school.
Applicants: Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and early-career
faculty, along with commercial/industrial researchers are encouraged to
apply. Only about 20 applicants will be selected for participation.
Participants of the workshop are strongly encouraged to bring their own
problem data sets or crystals so the problems can be addressed during
data collection and/or computation workshops.
Application: Application deadline is April 15th, 2022. To apply, visit
https://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-2022/application.php.
Fees: There is no fee for attending the virtual school for the chosen
applicants.
We hope to see you at the school.
Charles, Andrey, Garib and Qingping
