We are pleased to announce the 8th South American Macromolecular Crystallography School 2021 "Structural Biology to enhance high impact research in health and disease” to be held from 20 Sept to 1 Oct, 2021.

For more information on the agenda and speakers, and to apply, visit the Institut de Pasteur website.

The application deadline is June 30, 2021. For further inquiries contact mx2021@pasteur.edu.uy

There will be a range of topics covered throughout the event, including:

  • data collection (remotely at the Diamond synchrotron)
  • data processing
  • phasing and structure determination
  • model refinement and validation

25 participants will be selected, prioritising advanced PhD students, postdocs and young researchers. There is no registration fee, view the event website for more details.

Participants will have the opportunity to collect data from their own crystals at Diamond Light Source synchrotron via remote access, with the assistance of Diamond staff.

The workshop will be virtual considering the pandemics constraints. It will combine excellent lectures with hands-on problem-solving sessions. Tutorials of state-of-the-art software will include XDS, Dials, Phaser, ShelX, Coot, Refmac, Buster-TNT, PISA, among others.

Since the workshop is virtual, additional participants may elect to attend lectures only. If you wish to do this, please complete the registration form and indicate that this is your choice.

This Workshop is supported by the Collaborative Computational Project Nº4 (CCP4, UK) & Science and Technology Facilities Council (UK); the Centro de Biologia Estructural del Mercosur (CeBEM); and the Programa Iberoamericano de Ciencia y Tecnologia para el Desarrollo (CYTED) through de MICROBES consortium.
