Dear all,

we are pleased to announce that applications are open for the EMBO Practical Course

"Protein expression, purification and characterization" (PEPC8), which will be held at

EMBL Hamburg from the 3rd of September until the 11th of September 2012.

This is a hands-on course with practicals in cloning, expression (E. coli & Baculo virus),
purification (with and without tags) and characterization (thermofluor, SAXS,
crystallization and in-situ dynamic light scattering, ITC and thermophoresis).

Speakers include:

Imre Berger, EMBL Grenoble
Huseyin Besir, EMBL Heidelberg
Christian Betzel, University of Hamburg
Louise Bird, Oxford University
Uwe Bierfreund, GE Healthcare
Richard Burgess, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Stefan Duhr, NanoTemper
David Hacker, EPFL Lausanne
Josan Marquez, EMBL Grenoble
Alex McPherson, University of California
Preben Morth, University of Oslo
Jochen Mueller-Dieckmann, EMBL Hamburg
Joanne Nettleship, University of Oxford
Ilme Schlichting, Max Planck Institute, Munich  

Dmitri Svergun, EMBL Hamburg

Participants are encouraged to bring their own sample to the course for cloning
and expression in the pOPIN vectors, high-throughput crystallization, SAXS
and biophysical characterization.

A more extensive characterization of samples is sponsored in context of the course

by the co-sponsor Pcube.
