*Structural Biology Tutorials
<https://www.esrf.fr/home/events/conferences/2026/user-meeting-2026/tutorials.html>
– Monday 2 February*
*09:00–12:00 (hybrid): Structural Biology BAG Meeting: *Updates on the
Structural Biology beamlines, with a focus on the new ISPyB interface
accessible through the ESRF data portal.*
*
*13:30–14:30 (onsite): Meet the Structural Biology Scientists on the
Beamlines: *Informal discussion with the Beamline Scientists
*14:30–17:00 (onsite): Hands-On Training*: Practical sessions on manual
and automatic data collection in MXCuBE, from shipment preparation to
data reprocessing using the new ISPyB interface, with sample-preparation
sessions on ID29, BM29, and CM01.
*User-Dedicated Microsymposium (UDM3) <https://www.esrf.fr/UM2026/UDM3>
– Wednesday 4 February*
*08:00–17:00 (onsite): Brilliant Source for Brain Complexity:
Synchrotron-Driven Neuroscience Discoveries*
This microsymposium will highlight the expanding role of synchrotron
radiation in understanding brain architecture and function. Talks will
cover state-of-the-art synchrotron-based imaging, spectroscopy, and
structural biology approaches that are reshaping our ability to explore
neuronal organisation, dynamics, and disease mechanisms. The programme
includes invited speakers as well as presentations selected from
submitted abstracts. Poster sessions and coffee breaks will run jointly
to promote interaction and scientific exchange.
*Confirmed keynote speakers:*
Nicola GA Abrescia, CIC bioGUNE, Spain
Mariam Andersson, Danish Research Centre for Magnetic Resonance, Denmark
Radu Aricescu, MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, UK
Joanna Collingwood, University of Warwick, UK
Richard Ortega, CNRS / University of Bordeaux, France
Alejandra Sierra Lopez, University of Eastern Finland, Finland*
*
*Abstract submission deadline for UDM3: Sunday 30 November
