CryoNet is a Nordic network in cryogenic electron microscopy that aims to promote collaboration and knowledge sharing across national borders. A main goal is to help establish state-of-the-art cryogenic electron microscopy as a strong pillar of Nordic life science research.

The core of the network is constituted by the cryo-EM facilities at University of Copenhagen, Aarhus University, Stockholm University and Umeå University.

We are happy to announce the 2nd CryoNET course on advanced single particle cryo-EM analysis that will take place in Stockholm on 20-24 May 2024. Aim of the course is to provide training in cryo-EM image processing including latest developments of the field.

Participants will receive hands-on training in state-of-the-art techniques for single particle cryo-EM image processing, model building and validation from a range of international specialist guest lecturers. The course also includes theoretical talks and discussions on the use of cryo-EM to address difficult biological questions, which can help the participants address their own research problems. New for this year is to include Micro-ED and basic processing of Micro-ED data.

Participation in the entire course is mandatory and an attendance certificate will be given at the end of the course.

Application

Please submit your application in one combined pdf document, including a CV and a motivation letter. The letter should describe your previous experience with cryo-EM as well as your current research project, and how this course will benefit you and your project. Priority will be given to participants that are currently processing their own cryo-EM data and are users of the national cryo-EM facilities of Sweden or Denmark. Please limit your motivation letter to one page.

Application deadline: 20 March 2024

Notification: Applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application by 25 March 2024
