The ESRF, IBS, EMBL Grenoble and ILL are pleased to announce our 2.5-day practical workshop on sample preparation for cryo-EM single particle data collection. This is the fifth of a series of practical hands-on workshops started in 2018. This 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 23rd to 25th 2023. During the course, participants will learn theoretical and practical aspects of sample preparation for single particle cryo-EM including prior quality control by negative staining. The participants will also learn on quality assessment of the grids prepared by them.
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 12 participants will be selected and we will accept a limited number of participants’ samples to be tested during the workshop. In case that you plan to bring your own sample, please clearly mention this in your cover letter, also indicating the importance of the project.
Registration for the workshop is open and the deadline for application is March 26th, 2023. Successful candidates will be informed during the first week after the deadline. For more information, please visit the website.
This is an in-person workshop and is funded by Instruct-FR2, IBS Grenoble.
