9th International Workshop on X-ray Radiation Damage to Biological Crystalline Samples March 9-11 2016, Lund, Sweden
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. If you would like to know more about the research in this field please see Radiation damage to macromolecules: kill or cure?<http://www.iucr.org/news/research-news/radiation-damage-to-macromolecules-kill-or-cure> at the IUCr web page that includes links to special issues of Journal of Synchrotron Radiation dedicated to the earlier workshops. If you have suggestions for speakers, or would like to be considered as a speaker yourself, please send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> giving some idea of the content of the proposed talk. The venue for RD9 is the new MAX IV facility in Lund, Sweden, which includes a 3 GeV storage ring that will be the first using a multibend achromat lattice with sub-nm rad emittance. The facility also includes a 1.5 GeV storage ring and a 3 GeV linac serving a short pulse facility and the two storage rings. The new facility will be inaugurated in June 2016. The eight previous workshops in this series were held in 1999 (ESRF, France) 2001 (APS, USA) 2003 (ESRF, France) 2006 (SPring-8, Japan) 2008 (SLS, Switzerland) 2010 (SSRL, USA) 2012 (DLS, UK) 2014 (EMBL & DESY, Germany) Organizing committee Elspeth Garman (Oxford, UK) Martin Weik (IBS, Grenoble, France) Ian Carmichael (Notre Dame Radiation Laboratory, USA) Henry Chapman (CFEL, Hamburg, Germany) Ana Gonzalez (SSRL, USA) Sean McSweeney (BNL, USA) Colin Nave (Diamond, UK) Arwen Pearson (CUI, Hamburg, Germany) Raimond Ravelli (Maastricht, Netherlands) Gerd Rosenbaum (University of Georgia, USA) Masaki Yamamoto (SPring8, Japan) Marjolein Thunnissen (MAX IV Laboratory, Sweden) Thomas Ursby (MAX IV Laboratory, Sweden) Website: https://indico.maxlab.lu.se/e/rd9<https://indico.maxlab.lu.se/event/67/>
