<div class="">Dear Colleagues,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">It's time to register for the International Conference on Structural Genomics 2015 "Deep Sequencing Meets Structural Biology", which will be held on the campus of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel June 7-11, 2015! The Abstract
deadline is April 15, 2015. This conference is intended to foster international collaboration and to provide an overview for the most recent developments in Structural Biology and Structural Genomics and future impacts on biology, medicine and disease.</div>

<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">� Deep sequencing for modeling and refinement of macromolecular structures</div>
<div class="">� Membrane protein structure and function using complementary methods</div>
<div class="">� Technological advances in XFEL, Cryo-EM, NMR, SAXS, MS, MX and macromolecular complexes</div>
<div class="">� Combining low and high resolution data and modeling for structural biology</div>
<div class="">� Synergistic use of 3D structures and deep sequencing to realize personalized medicine</div>
<div class="">� Protein design and deep sequencing</div>
<div class="">� Cancer, antibiotic resistance and drug discovery</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">In order to widen the opportunities for younger researchers, we have organized satellite workshops before ICSG 2015 (during the day on June 7, 2015). These include:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">� Cryo-EM developments for structural biology [Sponsored by FEI]</div>
<div class="">� Approaches to the translation of deep sequencing data into three-dimensions [Ron Unger; Sponsored by Instruct]</div>
<div class="">� PHENIX: Automated determination of molecular structures [Tom Terwilliger, Li-Wei Hung & Pavel Afonine]</div>
<div class="">� HKL3000: From X-ray diffraction images to structure determination in minutes [Wladek Minor]</div>
