In Santa Fe, NM
The purpose of the conference is to provide a forum for students and
postdocs to meet established researchers as well as some rising stars, and
to see and discuss presentations on the latest methods and results.
Keynote speakers are Ilme Schlichting, David Stuart, Erica Ollmann Saphire,Robert Stroud, Suzanne Scarlata, David Eisenberg, Wayne Hendrickson, Yvonne Jones, Eva Nogales, and Tom Blundell
There are a number of fellowships covering hotel and registration available
for students and postdocs. Successful applicants will be notified on a
rolling basis about a month after they register for the conference.
After the main conference there will be an optional Phenix workshop with
lectures and hands-on sessions on using Phenix for crystallography and
cryo-EM.

CHESS Users' Meeting
| - |
In Cornell
NY. CHESS has just completed a major upgrade to its storage ring and beamlines;
the meeting will be a great place to find out about the new opportunities for
science created by CHESS-U, and see the new facilities.
There will be two workshops at the meeting; of particular interest to this
audience is one on Biomolecules Under Pressure. Speakers will introduce
high-pressure bioscience as it relates to molecular biophysics, the evolution of
life, food science and the instrumentation required to perform high-pressure
biological experiments, primarily using crystallography and SAXS. The workshop
will include a short overview of data acquisition at the CHESS BioSAXS station.

CSHL X-ray Methods in Structural Biology Course
| - |
In Cold Spring Harbor, NY
This immersive course is an outstanding place to learn both the theoretical and practical aspects of Macromolecular Crystallography because of the extensive lectures from world-renowned teachers, which are combined with hands-on experiments. This 2019 course will be lead by Jim Pflugrath (Rigaku, ret.), Tassos Perrakis (NKI), Paul Adams (LBL), Janet Newman (CSIRO) and an All-Star cast of lecturers. Attendees can expect to participate in a course that is unparalleled in the world, with experts each devoting several days to teaching the fundamentals, theory and practical considerations of crystallographic structure solution.
Topics to be covered include:
- Basic diffraction theory
- Crystallization (proteins, nucleic acids, complexes and membrane proteins)
- Synchrotron X-ray sources and optics
- Data collection and processing
- Structure solution by experimental phasing methods (SAD, MAD, MIR, and others) and molecular replacement
- Electron density maps improvement
- Model building and refinement
- Structure validation
- Coordinate deposition
- Structure presentation
The course is limited to 16 participants due to the very hands-on nature of the experiments and the intimate seminar room and laboratory settings. Please check the above web link for more details. In particular, please note the information about fellowships, scholarships, and stipends that are available. It is often possible for applicants to receive some level of support to help offset the course fee.
This course is supported with funds provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences for which we are extremely grateful. Also there are stipends available from the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to help offset the cost of tuition.Â
