Dear CCP4BB,
Register now for the British Crystallographic Association's (BCA) Spring Meeting<https://registrations.hg3conferences.co.uk/hg3/frontend/reg/thome.csp?pageID=103723&ef_sel_menu=2095&eventID=267> (University of Leeds 25th-28th March 2024)! Abstract submission deadline: 19th January (09:00 GMT) We strongly encourage abstracts across all areas of structural biology (i.e. Cryo-EM, crystallography, Cryo-ET and NMR). If you feel your work does not fit into the individual sessions, there is an Open Session which will consider all structural biology abstracts. The Biological Structures Group (BSG) have a programme covering areas at the forefront of structural biology aimed at all career stages. The theme of this meeting is breaking barriers and the sessions have been centred around this (see below), with additional sessions exploring the career paths of those skilled in crystallography and how to get the most from synchrotrons. BSG Sessions and Plenary: * BSG Plenary. Prof. Syma Khalid (University of Oxford) “When structural data gets messy: insights from molecular simulations. * Artificial intelligence in structural biology. Keynote: Dr Isabel Moraes (Google Deepmind) “Integrative Structural Biology with AI” * Getting the most from your protein crystals at the synchrotron. Keynote: Dr David Aragao (Diamond Light Source) “Title TBC” * Early career stage joint session: Breaking the field boundary: careers between chemical and biological crystallography. Panel Discussion with 5 scientists including Dr Helen Ginn and Dr Briony Yorke. * Industrial group joint session: Exploring synergies at the small molecule-biomolecule boundary. Keynote: Dr Duncan Johnstone (GSK) “Title TBC” * Breaking barriers with emerging technology in structural biology. Keynote: Dr Pedro Nunes (Diamond Light Source) “The High-energy Electron Xtallography Instrument: a new tool for macromolecular structure determination” * BSG: Open Session. Keynote: Prof. Tanmay Bharat (MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology) “Solving Structures of Crystals in Cells using Electron Tomography” There is also the Bragg prize lecture which will be of interest to many structural biologists. * Bragg Prize Lecture. Prof. Arwen Pearson (University of Hamburg ) “The future of macromolecular crystallography in the age of machine learning” We look forward to seeing you in Leeds in March 2024!
