The ISXB series of symposium aim to bring together researchers from all over the world who are interested in the fascinating phenomenon of halogen bonding and related interactions, from fundamental principles to applied technologies, covering both experimental and theoretical approaches in various areas of research ranging from advanced materials to medicinal chemistry and chemical biology.

The ISXB6 will feature keynote addresses and invited lectures by internationally renowned experts, contributed presentations, posters, and flash communications by young and promising researchers. The Symposium will also provide ample opportunities for networking and socializing in a friendly and stimulating atmosphere.

It will be held in Dubrovnik, Croatia, from October 20-25, 2024. The symposium will take place at the Sheraton Dubrovnik Riviera Hotel, a modern resort located in a secluded beachfront location in the vicinity of the Dubrovnik Old Town.

8:00-9:30 AM (PDT)

Michael Grange: Cryo-plasma FIB/SEM for in-situ structural biology and vEM

Damien Alloyeau: Understanding the formation of nanomaterials with in situ TEM

8:00-9:30 AM (PDT).
 

Dr. Michael Grange

Group Leader at the Rosalind Franklin Institute (United Kingdom)

Talk Title: Cryo-plasma FIB/SEM for in-situ structural biology and vEM

Bio: Michael Grange is a group leader at the Rosalind Franklin Institute in the UK. His research group focuses on using combinations of light and electron microscopy techniques to reveal (ultra) structural information at a tissue level in a robust, high-throughput manner. His group has pioneered the use of plasma focused ion beams for applications in structural biology and volumetric imaging, with the aim to resolve structures inside native tissue on a routine basis within a targeted multimodal framework. This talk will discuss the promise of these approaches for future developments and how such technologies promise to fit into nascent cryo-CLEM and tissue imaging workflows.

Dr. Damien Alloyeau

CNRS Director of Research at the University Paris-Cit? (France)

Talk Title: Understanding the formation of nanomaterials with in situ TEM

Bio: Damien Alloyeau is a CNRS director of research at the University Paris-Cit?. Since 2010, his group has been working on the fabrication and atomic-scale characterization of nanomaterials for catalytic and biomedical applications. He also heads a national user facility specialized in aberration-corrected in situ TEM both in liquid and gas phases, aimed at understanding the dynamics of nano-objects in their formation and application media.

The symposium celebrates the Japanâ€"UK partnership and brings together wide range of experts from Japan covering all of the frontier structural biology approaches including cryo-electron microscopy, synchrotron and free-electron laser X-ray crystallography and neutron crystallography.

The symposium will have two full days of lectures, the first day finishing with a public lecture by the Nobel Laureate Richard Henderson and the second day with lectures (open to the public) from Sir Tom Blundell and Dr Harren Jhoti, FRS (President and Chief Executive of Astex Pharmaceuticals).

The symposium is supported by the University of Liverpool and RIKEN together with BBSRC, STFC and ILL.

Registration is essential and is limited to 125 delegates. A small registration fee of £50 is being set to encourage ECR and PDRAs participation.

The 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 biological applications. We aim to promote an inclusive, friendly atmosphere, welcoming those both old and new to the community. Topics include instrument technology, sample preparation, image processing, single particle reconstruction, tomography and model building.
 

The meeting also includes the Diamond Light Source Biological Cryo-Imaging User Meeting for eBIC & B24 and associated satellite meetings for correlative microscopy (eBIC), soft X-ray tomography (B24) & automated live processing for SPA and cryoET (eBIC).

The conference will be held as a hybrid meeting, with the physical event at the EMCC in Nottingham, plus virtual access online via Zoom.

Graz University of Technology and Anton Paar will host the First International XRD excites: Non-Ambient XRD & Beyond symposium. The latest advances in the field of powder XRD will be discussed, and 60 years of non-ambient XRD at Anton Paar will be celebrated with a series of special talks and activities.

Why Attend?

Join the discussion of key themes, such as non-ambient XRD methods and applications, operando battery analysis using X-rays, total scattering and PDF analysis of disordered and amorphous materials, thin-film and surface diffraction/scattering of materials, and SAXS for nanostructured materials, with internationally recognized scientists and other participants from complementary fields. Present and share your own research and ideas with international participants from a broad range of backgrounds. Establish contacts, broaden your horizons and discuss the future of X-ray structure analysis methods. The symposium will consist of several themed sessions with keynote speakers, contributing talks and a poster session.

To encourage networking, several social events will complement the scientific sessions. Participants can join a guided walking tour of Graz’s old city center â€" a UNESCO heritage site. Graz is Austria’s second-largest city, home to three universities and a bustling center of culture and higher learning. In addition to an optional tour of Anton Paar headquarters, a conference dinner for all attendees will be hosted at “Sudhaus,” Anton Paar’s first-class restaurant and brewery located on the company premises. It serves local delicacies alongside a selection of craft beers.

8:00-9:30 AM (PST)
