Workshop “Neutrons and X-rays meet biology“, Berlin (Germany), 25-27 February, 2009

Scope:

From Wednesday 25 to Friday 27 February, 2009 a workshop on “Neutrons and X-rays meet biology”, will be held at the Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin. This workshop is devoted to the relation between structure, dynamics and function in biological systems. The workshop will give an up-to-date overview of the results obtained by both neutron and X-ray scattering as well as combinations of the two techniques, and it will demonstrate that the combination of neutron and X-ray probes will deeply broaden our knowledge on the structural and dynamical properties of biological systems. The workshop intends to bring together experts in the fields of neutron and X-ray techniques as well as specialists in bio-modelling, biochemical and biological characterization methods and will offer opportunities to initiate and/or intensify collaborations between experimental and theoretical scientists working in the various areas of biology. The program of the workshop will include invited lectures, talks and a poster session. To stimulate discussions and to further support scientific exchange, the posters will be displayed for the entire duration of the workshop. A visit of facilities at BENSC and BESSY will be an integral part of the programme.
