Cryo-EM Workshop of the High-Resolution TEM Winter School

The HRTEM Winter School at ASU has a long history in educating and training TEM scientists, and we have been expanding our interests and courses to the biological applications, especially the cryo-EM methods.

The goal of the Cryo-EM Workshop is to introduce the concepts and applications of the biological cryo-EM. We will have four guest speakers coming to join our workshop: Dr. James Evans (Pacific Northwest National Laboratory), Dr. Tim Grant (HHMI Janelia Farms), Dr. Axel Brilot (UCSF), and Dr. Thomas Tomasaik (University of Arizona). Participants will learn the complete workflow and advanced techniques used for biological cryo-EM through lectures, demos, and hands-on experiments. No previous experience is required. Also, it will be a great opportunity for the participants to learn the cryo-EM principles while working along with their samples. Therefore, we are welcoming to receive the proposals from who areinterested in bringing their samples and processing their data on site.

Topics:

• Preliminary Validation
• Cryogenic Sample Preparation
• Data collection Schemes
• Image Processing
• Structure Validation

Organization committees: Dr. Brent Nannenga ([email protected]), Dr. Po-Lin Chiu ([email protected]), and Dr. Dewight Williams ([email protected]).
