Dear ccp4bb'ers,
I draw your attention to this information. Please spread the news.
Thank you in advance
**International Workshop "Macromolecular Cristalography :
Introduction and Applications"**
**April 26 - May 7, 2010* *
*Institut Pasteur de Montevideo*
**Uruguay**
The principal aim of this course, is to give intense hands-on training
in all main aspects of macromolecular 3D structure determination by X
ray diffraction.
The course will include lectures delivered by a number of international
experts in the discipline, linked to hands-on experimental work and
demonstrations.
Special emphasis will be given to :
* Experiment design : manual and robotic crystallogenesis of
macromolecules, X ray diffraction of single crystals, data collection
* Diffraction data processing
* Model refinement and structural analysis
*ACTIVITY INTENDED FOR*
* Graduate Students (MSc and PhD)
* Postdocs
* Young Research Scientists
*APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS*
Candidates should send the following information :
1. -Short CV (including age, current position, scientific interests,
publications)
2. -Letter of motivation (the applicant should stress how
Macromolecular Crystallography is included in her/his ongoing scientific
project)
3. -Reference letter from the apllicant's supervisor
**SCHOLARSHIPS* *
Inscription fees are fully covered for all accepted students. Applicants
from abroad with no financial support, are welcome to apply for a
lodging and per diem expenses scholarship. This should be inlcuded as a
