Dear all,
This is the second announcement to the Cryo-Electron Microscopy
Symposium that will take place from 6-7th July, 2017 in Grenoble, France.
The aim of this symposium is to promote the exciting opportunities in
structural biology opened by the advances in cryo-electron microscopy
and by the integration of structural biology approaches at
multi-resolution level.
This symposium will celebrate the establishment of a new cryo-EM
platform on the EPN campus. The platform will offer access to the
international structural biology community to a new Titan Krios equipped
with a Quantum LS filter and phase plate. Such microscope will be
installed as a user facility at the ESRF and will reinforce the ongoing
EM activity at the IBS and at the EMBL. The new facility will thus be
open to the user community based on peer-review of scientific merit and
technical feasibility. Scientists from ESRF, IBS and EMBL will support
user operation.
The symposium will bring together leading experts, junior researchers
and representatives of industrial partners to present and discuss the
latest developments and the future trends in cryo-EM as well as their
applications in addressing biological challenges.
It will also provide a forum for discussion among both established and
junior scientists from different disciplines. We encourage participants
to present their scientific results in a poster session, with the
possibility of being selected for a short talk.
Poster Abstract submission deadline: 30 April 2017; Notification of
acceptance: 15 May 2017
*Deadline for registration: 22 May 2017*

We look forward to seeing you in Grenoble!

Forsyth (ILL/Keele), Wojciech Galej (EMBL), Gordon Leonard (ESRF), Marco
Marcia (EMBL), Christoph Mueller-Dieckmann (ESRF), Hugues Nury (IBS),
