Course reminder: Computational methods for macromolecular phasing and refinement, 11-16th March 2012

From: Martyn Winn
Date: 9 January 2012 16:55

A CECAM/CCP4 Workshop will take place at the Spanish CECAM node in
Zaragoza from 19:00 on March 11th to 20:00 on March 16th 2012. The
overall objective of this course is to provide an intensive practical
training in all computational aspects of macromolecular structure
elucidation by X ray diffraction techniques, for advanced graduate
students and postdoctoral researchers. We will provide a general
introduction as well as tutorials; confirmed speakers and tutors include
Andrew Leslie, Garib Murshudov, George Sheldrick, Isabel Uson, Jorge
Navaza, Bernhard Lohkamp, Eugene Krissinel, Andrey Lebedev, Gabor
Bunckozi, Judit Debreczeni and Philipp Heuser.

The workshop is primarily funded by the Zaragoza and Daresbury CECAM
nodes. Additional support is provided by CCP4 and the supercomputing
centre FCSC. See the course website:
http://www.z-cam.es/activity_participants.php?num=52

The number of 'students' will be limited to 28. Thanks to generous
support from the CECAM nodes, we are able to provide accommodation (2 to
a room) and some meals. Students are responsible for their own travel.
The closing date for applications is February 3rd 2012.

Application is via the Ask/Apply tab on the course web site. You should
include in the message your name, gender (for shared accommodation),
brief details of your academic qualifications and of your research
project, including (very briefly) results achieved so far as well as
problems with phasing and/or refinement, the name of your research
supervisor or other person who may be consulted if necessary. All this
information will be treated confidentially. Participants are encouraged
to bring their own data.
