List of course speakers and tutors
Structural biology is at the heart of most major advances in our understanding of the mechanisms governing biological processes. As the biological systems under study become more complex, the results from individual techniques fail to address the problems with enough depth to provide a full understanding of their structural and dynamic features.
In the present course we will be giving the participants a broad display of the fundamentals of X-ray crystallography, X-ray scattering, NMR and electron microscopy, with a focus on current strategies used to integrate the information gathered from different techniques.
Due to the limitations imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the course will be held remotely. Theoretical modules will be presented by speakers with help of a moderator from the organising committee. Practical modules will consist of real dataset analyses.
The course will include virtual poster presentations open for discussion, where participants will show their projects via slides. Posters will be evaluated by a group of instructors. The best presentation will be awarded a 100€ prize and two mentions will be awarded 50€ each.
This course is open to Latin American graduate students and postdocs. Unfortunately applications cannot be accepted from other geographical regions.
To apply, please complete this application form (in English, Spanish or Portuguese) and submit it with a one-page CV and an endorsement from your PI (if applicable) by 6 November 2020. Send your documents to rasia@ibr-conicet.gov.ar.
The course includes practical modules, hence there are limited positions. A scientific committee will select the candidates from all the received applications.
