Dear Colleague This is a reminder that for the Seventh International Workshop on X-ray Radiation Damage to Biological Crystalline Samples, Diamond Light Source 14-16th March 2012 the closing date for submission of abstracts to be considered for Oral presentations will be Monday 6th February 2012. For all other Abstracts the closing date will be Monday 20th February 2012.
Registration, and further information and Abstract submission are open at: http://www.diamond.ac.uk/Home/Events/RD7---2012.html The cost of registration is £100 (£120 after February 20th 2012). This series of workshops was originally concerned with the effects of radiation damage during investigation of protein structures by X-ray crystallography. Other techniques of structural biology are now being included to ensure greater information exchange. The workshop will therefore be of interest to all those using ionising radiation to examine biological structures at the molecular level. It will consist of around 30 talks of 20 minutes each grouped under the topics below and ample time will be left for discussion. Confirmed speakers are indicated under each one. 1. Basic understanding of radiation damage mechanisms. Ian Carmichael, Kristina Djinovic Carugo, James Holton, Alke Meents 2. Temperature-dependent (including RT) radiation damage. Sasha Popov, Robert Thorne, Martin Weik 3. Reducing and mitigating radiation damage Matt Warkentin, Elspeth Garman, Robin Owen, Kunio Hirata 4. Practical aspects of managing radiation damage. Tom Burnley, Zbyszek Otwinowski, Tatiana Petrova, Enrique Rudino-Pinera 5. Damage at new sources - XFEL Henry Chapman, Lukas Lomb 6. Radiation damage in complementary fields Dominique Bourgeois, Liz Duke, Richard Henderson, Raimond Ravelli, Eddie Snell It will consist of around 30 talks of 20 minutes each covering: Registration and Abstract submission are now open. Registration and further information can be found at http://www.diamond.ac.uk/Home/Events/RD7---2012.html The cost of registration is £100 (£120 after February 20th 2012). At registration, delegates are invited to upload abstracts for submitted talks and poster presentations. Please use the abstract template<http://www.diamond.ac.uk/Home/Events/RD7---2012/Abstracts.html> available on the site ensuring you indicate whether you would prefer an oral or poster presentation. The closing date for submission of abstracts to be considered for Oral presentations will be Monday 6th February 2012. For all other Abstracts the closing date will be Monday 20th February 2012. The organisers are Robin Owen, Armin Wagner, Elspeth Garman, Martin Weik, John McGeehan, Sean McSweeney, Colin Nave, Raimond Ravelli, Gerd Rosenbaum, James Holton, and Soichi Wakatsuki. ---------------------------------------------------- Professor Elspeth F.
