*International Workshop “Macromolecular Crystallography : Introduction
and Applications"*
*April 26 - May 7, 2010*
*Institut Pasteur de Montevideo*
*Uruguay*
The principal aim of this course, is to give intense hands-on training
in all main aspects of macromolecular 3D structure determination by X
ray diffraction.
The course will include lectures delivered by a number of
international experts in the discipline, linked to hands-on
experimental work and demonstrations.
Special emphasis will be given to :
* Experiment design : manual and robotic crystallogenesis of
macromolecules, X ray diffraction of single crystals, data collection
* Diffraction data processing
* Model refinement and structural analysis
*ACTIVITY INTENDED FOR*
* Graduate Students (MSc and PhD)
* Postdocs
* Young Research Scientists
*APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS*
Candidates should send the following information :
1. -Short CV (including age, current position, scientific interests,
publications)
2. -Letter of motivation (the applicant should stress how
Macromolecular Crystallography is included in her/his ongoing
scientific project)
3. -Reference letter from the apllicant's supervisor
*SCHOLARSHIPS*
Inscription fees are fully covered for all accepted students.
Applicants from abroad with no financial support, are welcome to apply
for a lodging and per diem expenses scholarship. This should be
