Dynamic Structural Biology Workshop: Examining the life sciences case for a UK XFEL

Join us on Tuesday 5th November to contribute towards the science case for a potential UK X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL). Listen to and get involved in talks and discussions addressing the frontiers in structural biology using various methods that include X-ray-based methods from synchrotrons and XFELs, as well as cryo-electron microscopy and NMR. All life scientists are encouraged to attend and add value to discussions.

Background

Mark Thomson, Executive Chair of STFC, has requested a report to be delivered in Spring 2020 outlining the science case for a potential UK X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL).  To this end, Jon Marangos and John Collier, co-leaders of the project, have formed a science team who are conducting an assessment in the context of the UKRI Strategic Prospectus and Government Priorities. The team are seeking input from across the scientific community through a series of workshops. More information on the project can be found here.
