InstructOverview
The quality control training school: From sample preparation and optimisation towards biophysical characterisation and integrative structural studies
Summary
This training school is aimed at structural biologists who want to improve their skills in sample analysis and optimization for structural techniques, in particular Cryo-EM. The course will cover different biochemical and biophysical techniques such as chromatography, dynamic and static light scattering, viscometry, circular dichroism, mass spectrometry, and differential scanning fluorimetry. Hands on training will be provided on basic quality control of protein as well as buffer and storage optimization. Trainees will be allowed to bring their own samples to use during the practical sessions. These sessions will be complemented with dry practical tutorials on purification strategies as well as on the choice of molecular scale biophysical measurements to complement structural determination. At the end of the course, trainees should have all the necessary know how to apply these measurements in their own institution.
Venue
The workshop will take place at the Pasteur Institute, Paris, France.

Public
The course will aim at trainees with little experience in the domain: early career staff, or people in need of new scientific skills: PhD students, post-Doc, research scientist scientific staff, core facility staff. 16 trainees will be selected and non selected trainees will be offer the possibility to participate as free auditor of the plenary lectures.
The plenary lectures will be open to free auditors after compulsory but free registration.
Trainee selection
This course will be opened to 16 selected participants that should come from places where such training is not available locally or in close proximity.
Selection will be done using the submitted submission form. The scientific committee will promote the selection of candidates who are from institution without expertise in this type of methodologies and technologies. The participants should show that the outcome of the course will be used rapidly in their projects and activities.
People willing to only participate as free auditors, will be selected on first arrive first serve basis.
