Crystallization: Focus on Membrane Proteins June 18-22, 2008 http://www.nsls.bnl.gov/newsroom/events/workshops/2008/crys/
Purpose & Scope of Workshop: The purpose of this course is to provide participants with hands-on experience of a variety of crystal growth methods. The course will address both conventional and non-conventional methods in membrane proteins. Introductory lectures will precede the practical sessions. Time for discussions and informal meeting with speakers and tutors is scheduled. Participants will be divided into groups of four to five members according to their main interests and follow practical sessions during the course.A special session on cryogenic protection and crystal quality assessment of crystals will be conducted at the X6A beam line on the last day. Intended Audience Graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and research scientists interested in learning about different approaches to crystallization. Selection Criteria There is no selection criteria. The inclusion of a small resume and a statement of interest with the registration form are strongly recommended, as groups will be organized according to their common level. Travel Grants A grant from The International Union of Crystallography will support the attendance of a limited number of attendee's. Preference will be given to Young Scientists [graduate students, post-graduate students or post-doctoral fellows with a maximum age of 30 (exceptionally 35)] from developing countries. For additional inofrmation refer to the course webpages: http://www.nsls.bnl.gov/newsroom/events/workshops/2008/crys/ or contact the organizers.
