2nd I2PC cryoEM Facilities Meeting. Madrid, June 26-27, 2018

Venue

National Center for Biotechnology (CNB), Madrid, Spain
Madrid, June 26 – 27, 2018

Summary

I2PC is organising its second Cryo-EM Facilities meeting. The aim is to gather together Cryo-EM Facility managers who want to share their experience, problems and solutions on data handling and processing, using Scipion or not.  

I2PC, as developers of Scipion, has as one of its top priorities the improvement of the functionality that Scipion offers to Cryo-EM Facilities. We will present Scipion and how it is used in several Facilities together with its development Road Map. More importantly, there will be ample time to discuss and present common Facility problems, and hopefully share with others how you are running your Facility.
