3rd cryoNET course on advanced single particle cryoEM analysis

We are happy to announce the 3rd CryoNET course on advanced single particle cryo-EM analysis that will take place in Copenhagen during 19-23 May 2025. The aim of the course is to provide training in cryoEM image processing including the latest developments in the field to intermediate or advanced users.

Participants will receive an overview and hands-on training in state-of-the-art techniques for single particle cryoEM image processing, model building and validation from a range of guest lecturers by international specialists. The course also includes plenty of opportunity for discussions during the week, which should facilitate the participants to shine a new light on their own research challenges.

Participation in the entire course is mandatory, and an attendance certificate will be given at the end of the course.

Course Objectives

• To provide training in state-of-the-art techniques for high resolution structure determination by cryoEM, including hands-on practical training in latest software suites for image processing
• Discuss data collection strategies
• Training in basic principles of structure determination using cryoEM
• Develop problem solving skills through discussions and practical sessions in the presence of international experts in the field
• Networking with experts, software developers, and researchers in cryoEM and learn not only the latest but also upcoming developments

Application

Please submit your application under Registration, including a motivation letter (one page pdf document), that describes your previous experience with cryoEM as well as your current research project, and how this course will benefit you.
