4th CryoNET Advanced Image Processing Workshop
Description
The course is open for facility users or potential facility users, such as PhD students, postdocs, and researchers within the life sciences who are curious and will profit from cryoEM skills. Swedish and international course participants are welcome. To attend, the course participants should be familiar with electron microscopy and structural biology.
Participants will receive an overview and hands-on training in state-of-the-art techniques for single particle cryoEM image processing, model building, validation, and tomographic workflows from a range of guest lecturers by international specialists. The course also includes plenty of opportunity for discussions during the week, which should facilitate the participants to tackle their own research challenges.
Participation in the entire course is mandatory, and an attendance certificate will be given at the end of the course.
This course is supported by SciLifeLab, CryoNET and Umeå University and organized by the Umeå Centre for Electron Microscopy (UCEM).
Learning Outcomes

To provide training in state-of-the-art techniques for high resolution structure determination by cryoEM, including hands-on practical training in latest software suites for image processing
Develop problem solving skills through discussions and practical sessions in the presence of international experts in the field
Networking with experts, software developers, and researchers in cryoEM and learn not only the latest but also upcoming developments
Prerequisites & Technical Requirements
Prerequisites
Priority will be given to researchers involved in a project where the use of cryo-EM is needed, which are to be briefly described upon application. The course is suitable for researchers in the life sciences with a master's or PhD degree, including graduate students, postdocs and staff scientists. A maximum of 20 participants will be admitted. Please provide a clear description of your research project and motivation for attending the course.
Technical requirements
Participants must bring their own laptops
