The Eighth International Workshop on X-ray Radiation Damage to Biological Crystalline Samples will be held at the EMBL and DESY, Hamburg, Germany from April 10th (13:00) to April 12th (13:00) 2014.
The full programme for this Workshop can now be found at: http://www.rd-eight.org/RD8-01/programme/index.html On-line registration for this Workshop is open at: http://www.rd-eight.org/ Registration is Euro 150 before 15th March and Euro 180 after 15th March. All registration is through the on-line site. Due to the generosity of our partners and sponsors (http://www.rd-eight.org/RD8-01/sponsorship/index.html), we are able to offer 5 Bursaries of E150 each to PhD students who would like to attend the Workshop and bring posters. Please contact Elspeth Garman (elspeth.gar...@bioch.ox.ac.uk) before 13th March if you would like to apply for one of these, and include a supporting letter from your supervisor. 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 25 talks of 20-25 minutes each, with slots allocated for discussion. The sessions will cover: Session 1 Basic Understanding of Radiation Damage Mechanisms Session 2 Practical Aspects of Reducing Radiation Damage Session 3 Biological studies affected by Radiation Damage Session 4 Damage at New Sources - XFEL and new synchrotrons Session 5 Radiation Damage in Complementary Fields Session 6 Additional Aspects of Radiation Damage Abstract submission will close on March 15th. The organizers are: Elspeth Garman, Martin Weik, Gleb Bourenkov, Henry Chapman, Alke Meents, Sean McSweeney, Colin Nave, Arwen Pearson, Raimond Ravelli, Gerd Rosenbaum, Thomas Schneider and Soichi Wakatsuki. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Professor Elspeth F.
