AICS2017 “Bridging the gap between cryo-EM and crystallography” will offer the opportunity to young researchers in biochemistry or structural biology at the PhD/postdoctoral level to approach the fundamental questions arising from the cryo-EM experiment setup. Central topics will include evaluation sample suitability for analysis and its preparation, choice of appropriate instrumentation for single particle, tomography or electron diffraction approaches, data processing and interpretation of results. A showcase of recent results will contour the tutorial sessions.

Structural biology is living the golden age of methodological innovation. This revolution is clearly headed by the strong march of cryo-EM, which offers tempting options to molecular scientists, to tackle more and more challenging biological questions. Cryo-EM has been defined method of the year 2015 and its contributions to structural biology are well recognized by the scientific community. Celebrations and sessions dedicated to cryo-EM also occurred in the IUCr meeting 2017, in Hyderabad.
