The 8th International Workshop on X-ray Radiation Damage to Biological Crystalline Samples (RD8) will be held at the EMBL and DESY, Hamburg, Germany from April 10th (13:00) to April 12th (13:00) 2014.
There are still a few places for this Workshop and the deadline for Poster Abstracts has been EXTENDED to April 1st. The full programme can be found at: http://www.rd-eight.org/RD8-01/programme/index.html On-line registration is at: http://www.rd-eight.org/ Registration is now Euro 180. All registration is through the on-line site. 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. The sessions are: 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 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.
