Combing precise chemical information from mass spectrometry (MS) with high resolution imaging methods like electron microscopy (cryoEM, TEM) or scanning probe microscopy (AFM, STM) pushes the frontiers and scope of chemical and structural analysis to atomic resolution of individual complex molecules. Â

This workshop meeting brings together an emerging community of scientists from analytical, preparative, and native mass spectrometry, molecular electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopy to explore the possibilities and challenges of the novel approaches at the frontier of native mass spectrometry and single molecule imaging.

The conference handle, MS+M_22, stands for Mass Spectrometry plus Microscopy, expressing the vision that this sum is greater that its parts.

Hands-On Training Course that introduces the fundamentals and main tools needed to build an atomic model in the context of cryo-EM, starting from a 3D map and the aminoacid sequence of each protein chain. The tools will be used inside the Scipion framework (de la Rosa-Trevin et al. 2016) and examples will focus on the modeling by homology scenario, including AlphaFold2 prediction models.

Expected impact for young researchers

Atomic models based on high-resolution density maps are the ultimate result of the cryo-EM structure determination process. In this course, we introduce the basic tools needed to perform this task. Ph.D. students, as well as post-docs, will undoubtedly benefit from approaching this technique since atomic models guide our mechanistic interpretation of cryo-EM structures.

 Registration Fee: 50€

The first 'International Cryo-EM (ICE) Workshop for Advanced Materials' will take place at the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT), Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), 1101 Eubank SE, Albuquerque, NM 87123, USA.
 

The 'ICE Workshop for Advanced Materials' is an in person science and training workshop that combines invited lectures on current advancements and applications of cryogenic electron microscopy for materials sciences with lab demonstrations of current state-of-art cryogenic microscopy techniques.

This workshop covers each critical step of a successful cryogenic microscopy study, including specimen preparation, specimen transfer, cryogenic SEM/FIB, new cryo-EM stages, imaging and spectroscopy at low temperatures. Vendor talks will provide information on the current state-of-the-art tools and workflows for Cryo-EM experiments. In-person lab demonstrations will be performed at CINTs Core Facility at SNL, allowing participants to have live interactions with the instructors and hands-on experience. We invite participants to bring a (3' x 4') poster of their work to share during the workshop. Additional pre-recorded lab demonstrations will be provided by experts from various institutions.

This workshop aims to unify the current state-of-the-art and bring together experts in cryogenic electron microscopy for materials science.

We particularly aim to:

 * Provide a learning platform for students and early career materials scientists who are interested in recent Cryo-EM technical and scientific advancements
 * Connect scientists from international and US universities with National Laboratories to stimulate an intensive exchange of Cryo-EM knowledge
 * Accelerate the design and developments of new equipment and methods for cryo-EM research

A symposium in Dr. Kenneth Taylor's honor to celebrate his lab's accomplishments and to highlight advances in cryo-EM and muscle research. The symposium will feature many notable National Academy investigators whose research focusses on muscle biology and cryo-EM.

It will run 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM on May 13th and 14th and will be in person only. Lunch and coffee breaks will be provided. Registration is required, and attendance will be capped. Please secure your spot by submitting your registration ASAP here.
