RapiData 2020 applications open
Applications are now open for the 2020 edition of RapiData at SSRL. RapiData is a practical course in macromolecular X-ray diffraction data collection, data processing and structure solution. The aim of the RapiData course is to educate and train young scientists in data collection and processing methods at synchrotron beamlines, using state-of-the-art software and instrumentation. The course will be held in sunny California at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) located on the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory campus in Menlo Park, CA, from March 30 - April 4 2020. Course organizers for 2020 are Silvia Russi, Clyde Smith and Jeney Wierman. The course will comprise hands-on experiments at the SSRL beamlines, software tutorials, and lectures on the following topics: Specimen preparation, Data collection strategies, X-ray light sources, X-ray detectors, Data reduction, Structure solution by MAD, SAD and Molecular Replacement, Complementary methods (spectroscopy and small angle scattering). Please visit http://smb.slac.stanford.edu/news/rapidata/rapidata-2020/ and use the links on the "registration" page to apply for the course. The application deadline is November 10 2019. Successful applicants will be notified shortly thereafter, and invited to register and book accommodation at the SLAC Guesthouse at that time. A limited amount of travel support funding may be available. Please direct questions to Silvia Russi ([email protected]), Jeney Wierman ([email protected]) or Clyde Smith ([email protected]).
The SSRL Structural Biology beamlines 12-2, 9-2 and 4-2 and the Stanford-SLAC CryoEM facilities are open to user projects that are related to COVID-19 research. CryoEM Proposals may be submitted as service projects through our Stanford-SLAC Cryo-EM Centerhttps://cryoem.slac.stanford.edu/s2c2/ (S2C2) program or as collaborative projects through our National Center for Macromolecular Imaginghttps://cryoem.slac.stanford.edu/ncmi/ (NCMI) program. Registration and proposal submittal are facilitated through our user portalhttps://userportal.slac.stanford.edu/, as are similar applications for COVID-19 related research on structural molecular biology beamlines at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsourcehttps://www-ssrl.slac.stanford.edu/ (SSRL). For questions regarding the application process, please contact Lisa Dunn (mailto:[log%20in%20to%20unmask][email protected]). Feel share this information with others who may have COVID-19 related research projects.

Applications are now open for the 2022 edition of RapiData at SSRL - please visit https://www-ssrl.slac.stanford.edu/rapidata/rapidata-2022/ for the most up-to-date information. The workshop will run be virtually via Zoom in much the same way as the 2021 course. RapiData is a practical course in macromolecular X-ray diffraction data collection, data processing and structure solution. The aim of the RapiData course is to educate and train young scientists in data collection and processing methods at synchrotron beamlines, using state-of-the-art software and instrumentation. The course will be run out of the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) on the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory campus from Wednesday May 4 2021 to Saturday May 14 2022, typically starting at 8am PST each day. The weekend of May 7-8 will be free. The course will comprise remote access data collection experiments at the SSRL beamlines, software tutorials, and lectures on the following topics: Specimen preparation, Data collection strategies, X-ray light sources, X-ray detectors, Data reduction, Structure solution by MAD, SAD and Molecular Replacement, Serial Crystallography, and Complementary methods (cryoEM, spectroscopy and small angle scattering). Students may send a limited number of their own crystals for diffraction data collection but this is not a requirement. Please email us and let us know if you are thinking of sending samples. Please go to https://www-ssrl.slac.stanford.edu/rapidata/rapidata-2022/ and use the links on the "Application/Registration" page to apply for the course. The application deadline is January 24 2022. Successful applicants will be notified shortly thereafter, and invited to register. There is no registration fee for this workshop.
