This EMBO Practical Course will focus on the use of small angle scattering of both neutrons and X-rays for the determination of the structures of biological macromolecules. Particular attention will be paid towards sample preparation and the analysis and interpretation of small angle scattering data in a biological context.

The course will consist of lectures, tutorials and practicals, taking advantage of the location of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility and the Institut Laue Langevin on the same scientific campus in Grenoble.Â

Registration deadline : 21st June 2019Â

With workshops:

• SDM3: Diffraction : Cristallographie et Microstructure
• SC4: Modeling and Data analysis
• SDV1: Cryo-EM

The European High Pressure Research Group (EHPRG) was established in the sixties of the last century to support a development of both the basic as well as the applied high pressure research by the annual meetings. To create a close contact of all the workers in scientific and technological high pressure disciplines, the wide scope of the EHPRG conferences is traditional and characteristic feature of these meetings. A relatively rapid increase of high pressure activities in almost all areas of Physics, Geosciences, Material Research, Chemistry and namely in Biosciences during the last decades demands a similarly rapid exchange of knowledge in high pressure research and technology.

This one-day scientific symposium will highlight the role cryo-EM can
play in the drug discovery process. Leaders in the biopharma industry
will highlight their successes and experiences utilizing this
ground-breaking technology.Â

 Topics include:

       * Cryo-EM in Biopharma: Progress and Lessons Learned
       * Cryo-EM by Outsourcing: Panel Discussion
       * Bottlenecks: Sample preparation, Throughput, Data Infrastructure
       * Hot Topics: micro-Electron Diffraction

You’re invited to the 77th Annual Pittsburgh Diffraction Conference at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), which is located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee (near Knoxville). The conference will take place over three days and feature sessions focused on all areas of diffraction, from powders to protein crystals. Topics will include emerging technologies/techniques, Total scattering, Magnetic scattering, and Integrative Structural Biology. The Chung Soo Yoo Award, established by the Pittsburgh Diffraction Society to honor Dr. Yoo’s memory, and a $400 cash prize will be given to the graduate student having the best poster presentation at the conference.

The ISBC2019Â belongs to a series of International Crystallization Schools organized yearly every last week of May since 2006 in Granada. The whole series of ISC and ISBC is sponsored by the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr), The Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of Spain, The University of Granada and the Specialized Group of Crystallography and Crystal Growth (GE3C) of the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry, and it is supported by the Working Party on Crystallization (WPC) of the European Federation of Chemical Engineers and the International Organization of Crystal Growth.

The school is designed for PhD students and early-stage researchers. Participants will learn how a biological problem can be tackled using an integrated approach, going from atomic resolution to whole organism level. The school also aims at showing how physics can help model biological processes. Several topics will be covered: cell and tissue morphogenesis, role of membranes at mesocopic and molecular scales, remodeling and transport processes, concepts and methods from physics applied to biology, state-of-the-art experimental approaches, links between cellular and structural biology.
