Seventh International Workshop on X-ray Radiation Damage to Biological Crystalline Samples, Diamond Light Source 14-16th March 2012:
This series of workshops was originally concerned with the effects of radiation damage during investigation of protein structures by X-ray crystallography. Other techniques of structural biology are now being included to ensure greater information exchange. The workshop will therefore be of interest to all those using ionising radiation to examine biological structures at the molecular level.
It will consist of around 30 talks of 20 minutes each grouped under the topics below and ample time will be left for discussion. Confirmed speakers are indicated under each one.
1. Basic understanding of radiation damage mechanisms.
Ian Carmichael, Kristina Djinovic Carugo, James Holton, Alke Meents
2. Temperature-dependent (including RT) radiation damage.
Sasha Popov, Robert Thorne, Martin Weik
3. Reducing and mitigating radiation damage
Elspeth Garman, Robin Owen
4. Practical aspects of managing radiation damage.
Tom Burnley, Zbyszek Otwinowski, Tatiana Petrova, Enrique Rudino-Pinera
5. Damage at new sources - XFEL
Henry Chapman, Lukas Lomb
6. Radiation damage in complementary fields
The organisers are Robin Owen, Armin Wagner, Elspeth Garman, Martin Weik, John McGeehan, Sean McSweeney, Colin Nave, Raimond Ravelli, Gerd Rosenbaum, James Holton, and Soichi Wakatsuki.

Synchrotron radiation has become an indispensable tool for many macromolecular crystallography groups. Some synchrotron-specific skills are difficult to learn without ones having an intensive hands-on training program. But not all research groups have the luxury of providing long training sessions for students and postdocs. To provide such an educational experience, we have designed a course in Rapid Data Collection and Structure Solving.

Granada, Spain

ISC Granada 2012 will focus on the fundamentals of crystallization from solutions and its applications to the fields of pharmaceutical compounds, foods, agrochemicals, minerals, new materials, etc...
The School is intended for postgraduate and postdoctoral students as well as for research scientists from industry and academy that deal everyday with crystallization but look for fundamental knowledge on the behaviour of crystallizing solutions.
We invite students from all over the world to join us to learn from selected international experts, to hear practical case study presentations, to watch practical hand-on demonstrations, to participate in round-table discussions and to present their research results in the dedicated poster sessions. The language of the School will be English.
The School will be held from the 21st to the 25th of May 2012 at Hotel San Antón in Granada.

"CCP4 school: From data collection to structure refinement and beyond"
Site: Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois (Near Chicago), USA
The school content:
Data collection workshop the first two days: beamline training and data collection on GM/CA-CAT beamlines 23ID-B and 23ID-D. For data collection, only the participants' crystals will be used.
Software workshop: The rest of the time after data collection will feature many modern crystallographic software packages taught by authors and other experts. It will be organized in three
Sections – lectures, tutorials and hands-on trouble-shooting. There will be model data sets available for tutorials but data, provided by participants, will have higher priority for the hands-on sessions.
Applicants:
Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and young scientists at the assistant professor level are encouraged to apply. Only 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 workshop and/or hands-on sessions.
Application:
Application deadline is April 17. The application form, the program, contact info and other details can be found at http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-2012/
Fees: There is no fee for the workshop. The students will be responsible for their transportation and lodging. The workshop organizers will arrange economical lodging at the Argonne Guest House. The workshop will also cover the expenses for all meals and refreshments.

We invite you to participate in the 14th International Conference on the Crystallization of Biological Macromolecules (ICCBM14) on September 23-28, 2012. The conference will be held in Huntsville, the “Rocket City,” in the beautiful state of Alabama. The meeting site will be at the Westin within the second largest research park in the U.S. nearby the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, the Redstone Arsenal and the new HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology.
The theme of the meeting will be synthetic design, engineering and strategies for macromolecular crystallization. Focus will be on the practical and theoretical basis of macromolecular crystallization involving synthetic biology, protein complexes, nucleic acids, membrane proteins and convection-free crystallization platforms.
A practical workshop will precede the main conference devoted to hands-on instruction on selected aspects of macromolecule production, synthetic biology engineering and crystal growth.
Lodging will be available at the Westin conference center as well as other convenient and affordable housing nearby the University of Alabama in Huntsville and Research Park.

X-ray crystallography is the pre-eminent technique for obtaining the 3D structures of macromolecules at the level of individual atoms. These structures are central to understanding the detailed mechanisms of biological processes and to discovering novel therapeutics using a structure-based approach. Great advances continue to be made in the methods for determining crystal structures, pushing the frontiers, allowing the pace of structural understanding to increase and making it possible to respond efficiently and rapidly to emerging threats. This course will help to equip the next generation of scientists with a deep understanding of the tools they need to solve challenging structural projects and an appreciation for what the future holds.
