The Cold Spring Harbor Macromolecular Crystallography course will take place October 13-29th this year (pleased see below for more details). This comprehensive course is an outstanding place to learn both the theoretical and practical aspects of macromolecular crystallography. There are extensive lectures and practical sessions from world recognized experts in crystallization, data collection, data processing, structure solution, refinement, and validation. The goal of the course is for researchers who have had some exposure to structural biology to become experts in crystallography. This is an experience in macromolecular crystallography learning that cannot be found anywhere else, and the student/teacher ratio is often 1:1.

Please follow the link below to the course web site. In particular, please note the information about the various fellowships, scholarships, and stipends that are available.

If anyone has any questions please send me an e-mail, and we will be happy to answer all queries.
