We have extended the application deadline for the CSHL X-ray Methods in Structural Biology Course to be held October 13-28,2014.
Our earlier deadline was based on getting all the paperwork completed in time for using NSLS, but since NSLS will not be available*, we can extend the deadline to July 15th. This may be helpful to folks who got caught up in World Cup action and missed the earlier deadline. Below is my previous announcement. Regards, Jim *We will collect diffraction data remotely at the APS and in the homelab at CSHL. Participants are encouraged to bring their own crystals as well. Here's a link to the announcement: http://meetings.cshl.edu/courses/2014 /c-crys14.shtml The course is supported by a grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences Some financial assistance is also available for some, see the course announcement on the details of that. I think the course is an outstanding place to learn both the theoretical and practical aspects of Macromolecular Crystallography because of the extensive lectures from world-renowned teachers and the hands-on experiments. This year's course will once again see the return of the long-time instruction team of Alex McPherson, Gary Gilliland, Bill Furey and myself along with many talented experts to help us give the participants an experience in Macromolecular Crystallography learning that cannot be found anywhere else. (The student:teacher ratio ends up to be about 1:1). We expect to have the participants crystallize several proteins and determine their structures all in about two weeks. While an emphasis is placed on proteins that we provide, participants will be able to work on their own macromolecules as well in the 2014 course. The course is limited to 16 participants due to the very hands-on nature of the experiments and the intimate seminar room. Please check the above web site for more details. If anyone has any questions, please send me e-mail, I will be happy to answer all queries. Jim
