Course or Conference 5

New algorithms in macromolecular crystallography and electron microscopy workshop

VENUE and DATE:

Lorentz Center, Leiden, The Netherlands 13 - 17 May 2008

DESCRIPTION:

Recent advances in computational power have opened new possibilities in structural biology. For this MAXINF2 workshop, we have brought together experts in computational methods development in X-ray crystallography (MX) and electron microscopy (EM) to develop algorithms of the future that improve both methods and combine the complementary information from both techniques optimally. Although the meeting is primarily for developers, anyone interested in understanding or developing computational methods for MX and EM is encouraged to apply.

To foster communication, collaboration and developments, participants have their own desk in a shared office with 2 or three other participants for the duration of the workshop.

There is both a poster session and spots still available for oral presentations from submitted abstracts.
