2023 Image Processing Workshop for Cryo-Electron Microscopy

This is a hybrid workshop hosted at Stanford-SLAC Cryo-EM Center (S2C2).

The workshop will alternate theoretical discussions with practical examples using experimental data with a main focus on Single Particle Analysis (SPA). We will demonstrate simultaneously how to apply different software packages at different stages of the image processing pipeline (like Relion, Xmipp, CryoSPARC, among others), a task that we will achieve transparently using the software integration framework Scipion. We will also address some advanced topics in Tomography in which an extra degree of robustness can be introduced along similar lines as those introduced in SPA with the help of Scipion runn
 ing iMod, EMAN, Relion, Dynamo, and Xmipp. Attendees are expected to be familiar with standard image processing pipelines in Single Particle Analysis. On the last day the talks on theory and practices will focus on advanced image processing topics, as well as their connection with molecular motion, 3D visualization, atomic modeling, structure validation, and drug design.

This will be a hybrid workshop. Due to available resources, we will have only 50 spots for onsite hands-on practical participation with all others attending via Zoom.
