Instruct/CIISB Fragment Screening using crystallography laboratory equipment

The course has two parts: half a day devoted to lectures on April 5 morning, in the Biocev auditorium - no registration is needed, everyone is welcome to attend the presentations and lectures given by:
Jan Dohnalek (IBT Biocev Vestec)
Andreas Heine (IPC Marburg)
Bohdan Schneider (IBT Biocev Vestec)
Tomas Koval (IBT Biocev Vestec)
Petr Pompach (CMS IBT Biocev Vestec)
Manfred Weiss (Bessy II)
Sameer Velankar (to be confirmed, or another speaker from EBI)
John Darby (Chemistry, U. of York)

The remaining part of the workshop (three half days, April 5 afternoon, April 6 morning and April 6 afternoon) consist of a "workshop", hands on sessions for 16 registered participants. This part will be dealing with

• The initial pre-screening using biophysical methods (Tatsiana Charnavets, CMS)
• Dispensing target protein crystals to a fragment library (Jiri Pavlicek, CMS)
• In situ testing of crystal diffraction, data collection and evaluation of the results (Jiri Pavlicek, CMS)

Due to generous Instruct funding, there will be no registration fees for the 16 registered participants (hands-on sessions), all costs will be covered from the first night (April 4 to April 5) in hotel u Krbu in Vestec (ca. 15 minutes walk from the Biocev) to the departure from the hotel on April 7 after breakfast. For those accepted, of course you are most welcome to arrive earlier and / or depart from the Prague area later in order to discover / visit one of Europe's most beautiful cities, Prague. There are numerous hotels and "BnB" style accomodation available. This isn't part of the course and must be arranged by yourselves. Registered participants (and also the people wanting to attend the lectures only) must cover the cost of travelling to the venue.

Deadline for submission of applications is February 9, 2018
