Dear Colleagues,
Happy New Year!!
We are writing to share information about the upcoming West Coast Structural Biology Workshop, which is scheduled for March 23-26, 2025 at its traditional location, the picturesque Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, CA.
The conference website can be found at: https://wcsbw2025.macromolecules.xyz/.
The WCSBW is a bi-annual meeting that showcases the latest methods, developments, and discoveries in structural biology, including X-ray Crystallography, Cryo-EM, NMR, and other methods. We strongly encourage anyone interested in method development and solutions to technical challenges in structural analysis to attend, even if you're not from the west coast. Importantly, the WCSBW aims to highlight the work of trainees, so all oral presentations (except keynotes) will be given by students and postdocs.
The 26th edition of this meeting will include:
- Opportunities to connect with leaders in the field, exchange practical advice, and stay at the forefront of structural biology advancements. - Exciting oral research presentations and engaging poster sessions focusing on the contributions of students and postdocs. - Inspiring keynote presentations, featuring Prof. Bil Clemons from Caltech, and Dr. Junko Yano from Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. - A 2-hour workshop hosted by the Phenix developers, detailing the use of new tools for structure determination and analysis. - A networking session with scientists from west coast biotech companies for students and postdocs who are entering the job market. - Good company and beautiful views of the pacific ocean!
Some details about the conference are included below, and more information is available at our website (see link above).
*Please note that the registration deadline is Feb. 7, 2025.*
We hope to see you at Asilomar in March!
-Mike Thompson (UC Merced) and Alec Follmer (UC Davis)
P.S. We ask for your help in sharing this announcement with any students, postdocs, staff, colleagues, collaborators, or friends that might be interested. Thanks!

Abstract Submission: https://wcsbw2025.macromolecules.xyz/registration/
All oral presentations at the WCSBW, except for the keynotes, will be given by trainees. Students (undergraduate or graduate) and Postdocs are welcome to submit abstracts for oral presentations. We welcome abstracts for poster presentations from attendees at any career stage. The deadline for submitting abstracts is *January 20, 2025*, and attendees must be registered for the meeting in order for their abstracts to be considered. Abstracts that are submitted for oral presentations and not selected will be automatically considered as poster abstracts.
