Cryo-EM from Cells to Molecules: Multi-Scale Visualization of Biological Systems (F1) is organized by Keystone Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology and will be held during Feb 04 - 08, 2018 at Granlibakken Tahoe City, Tahoe City, California, United States of America.
Course Description :
This meeting will showcase cryo-EM breakthroughs in addressing crucial problems in cell biology and will further highlight the use of cryo-EM as a platform for the integration of data from orthogonal biophysical and biochemical approaches. The meeting will include four themes:
• Single-particle cryo-EM with a special focus on the characterization of the conformational ensemble adopted by macromolecular complexes and with aim of delineating their mechanism of action;
• Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) and correlative light electron microscopy (CLEM) to visualize cellular organizations and their dynamics;
• The emergence of cryo-EM as tool for drug discovery and translational research through both high-resolution structure determination and characterization of cellular phenotypes.
• Recent developments in specimen preparation and image acquisition. Accordingly, the meeting aims to attract a diverse audience with interest in cryo-EM applications from both Academia and industry, and far beyond the traditional cryo-EM specialists.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
