Cryo Electron Microscopy in Structural Biology DTP Course

Aug 16. till Aug 19.

Cryo Electron Microscopy in Structural Biology DTP Course

This course will provide fundamental lectures and practical demonstrations in cryo-EM, from sample preparation and the electron microscope, through to image formation and processing, reconstruction in SPA and cryo-ET, and model building.

This is a hybrid event targeted primarily at Oxford Wellcome Trust Doctoral Training Program (WT DTP) students, but lectures will be made open to the wider community via Zoom and a limited number of in-person places for the lectures are also available. Practical sessions covering sample preparation, cryo-EM screening, SPA data collection and cryo-ET are in-person and limited to first year Oxford Wellcome Trust Doctoral Training Program (WT DTP) students.
