MicroED Workshops
May 21-24, 2017 AND May 24-27, 2017
Due to high demand, Janelia will host two MicroED workshops in the spring. They will have the same content, and accepted participants will be assigned to one or the other.
MicroED is a technique that uses electron diffraction to facilitate structure determination from sub-micron sized crystals, eliminating the need to grow large crystals. MicroED uses equipment and procedures that are standard on many cryoTEM’s, and because of this the technique can be easily adopted in labs and facilities around the world. To facilitate the widespread use of MicroED, Janelia group leader Tamir Gonen is offering this workshop to teach microscopists how to perform the technique and adopt it at their own institutions.
There is no registration fee for participation, and Janelia will provide on-site housing and meals. Attendees are expected to cover their own travel expenses and must be able to stay for the duration.
TO APPLY: Space in these workshops is limited and accepted applicants will be assigned to one or the other set of dates (not both). Applicants must submit a brief statement on why they wish to participate, via our online registration system. [NOTE: This system is designed to collect abstract information for presentations. Please write your statement of interest in the "abstract" field, put your name in the "author" field, and put "n/a" in the "presentation title" and "keyword" fields.
Application deadline is February 10, 2017 (11:59pm)
