Overall aims and course outline
Cryo-Electron Microscopy has established as a mature technique to determine the three-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules. It is currently reaching atomic resolution and it is capable of accessing to the structure of conformationally heterogeneous samples, as well as macromolecular complexes. It is complementary to other structural techniques like X-ray crystallography and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and at the moment it is the most rapidly growing technique in atomic structure depositions at public databases like PDB.
The aim of the course is to give an overall overview of the image processing in single particle analysis (SPA). The I2PC has a long tradition of organizing courses of image processing and atomic modelling, with Instruct courses that have been heavily oversubscribed and had to be repeated twice in the same year to be able to attend its demand.
For logistic reasons and travelling restrictions, the whole course will be given online. An additional benefit of this circumstance is that the course can be recorded and stay as a permanent course in I2PC. Although the course is online we will try to keep the interactions with attendees. For this reason, we will limit the maximum number of attendees to 40.
The course is aimed at researchers of all levels wanting to adopt electron microscopy as one of the tools at their disposal for elucidating biological structures.
Expected impact for young researchers
CryoEM is the most rapidly growing structural technique. PhD students as well as young post-docs will certainly benefit from approaching this technique. Knowing it will open new doors to new positions worldwide.
