Practical integrative structural biology is organized by Jan Kosinski and will be held from Nov 03 - 09, 2019 at CSSB, Center for Structural Systems Biology, Hamburg, Germany. Description: Characterizing the structure of macromolecular complexes is crucial for understanding their function. For many complexes, however, solving their structure using a single structural biology technique is very challenging. Integrative structural biology combines different experimental techniques with computational modeling to build structural models of such challenging complexes. Application of integrative structural biology requires an in-depth understanding of both different experimental approaches and computational modeling. To provide advanced training in such a highly interdisciplinary skill set, this EMBO Practical Course will teach how to interpret data from major structural biology techniques and how to integrate this data using computational methods. The course located at the Hamburg Unit of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory and the Center for Structural Systems Biology on the DESY campus will provide on-site synchrotron SAXS and MX beamlines for training. Hands-on practicals will use a well-studied model system, for which data from all main structural biology techniques are available. The participants will learn both how to collect at on-site structural biology facilities, how to analyze these data and how to subsequently build integrative models using major software packages developed by invited speakers. A guided visit to the European XFEL site is also included into the program, in part to trigger discussions on future integrative structural biology approaches. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

8th Annual Congress of the Germans knee society is organized by Intercongress GmbH and will be held from Nov 22 - 23, 2019 at Radisson Blu Hotel, Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany. Description: The technical advancement and digitization is also gaining increasing influence in knee surgery. This creates many exciting opportunities to improve our therapeutic measures or to develop new surgical techniques. In particular, the increase in precision and an expansion of the analysis option in the context of patient therapy can have a significant impact on the quality of care. As part of the congress, we would like to think outside the box, introduce you to the new, modern high-tech developments in knee surgery and discuss them critically with you. At the same time, in knee surgery there is also a return to traditional therapeutic measures or the basics of care, which have already been partly forgotten. Especially due to new technical developments, a renaissance of older therapeutic principles can lead to successful results. An important aspect of the congress will again be to use the synergisms of arthroplasty, sports traumatology and traumatology, so that the individual sub-specialties can learn from each other. Key topics: • Video session: tricks and tricks straight from the OR • Anatomy of the knee: always something amazing to discover something new • Focus: accompanying pathologies of the VKB rupture - that makes the difference • Primary Endoprosthetics - New Techniques, Perioperative Management • Traumatology put to the test: what is conservative? • Postraumatic, intraarticular malpositions - when and how to correct? • Program Crash Course: TEP, ASK and Trauma ("The Young Knee") Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
