Instruct Instruct PartnerThe sixth practical hands-on workshop on sample preparation for cryo-EM single particle data collection, jointly organised by the ESRF, EMBL Grenoble, and the IBS, continuing a series started in 2018. This 2.5 day workshop is aimed at PhDs, Postdocs and young scientists new to the field of single particle cryo-EM and will be held at the European Photon Neutron campus, Grenoble, France from May 28th to 30th 2024. The course offers theoretical and practical aspects of sample preparation for single particle cryo-EM including prior quality control by negative staining. The participants will also learn the basics of grid screening and evaluation.
There is no registration fee and meals and accommodation during the workshop will be provided free of charge. However, participants should arrange and pay for their own travel to/from Grenoble. A maximum of 16 participants will be selected and we will accept participants’ samples to be tested during the workshop, if the samples deemed suitable. In the case that you plan to bring your own sample, please clearly mention this in your cover letter, also indicating the importance of the project.
Application for the workshop is open and the deadline for application is April 7th 2024. Successful candidates will be informed during the first week after the deadline.
