Course details

Course dates: May 13th - 16th 2024

Registration now closed.

Description

The course is a part of the UK community-led training program in cryo-EM funded by Wellcome and the MRC.

Hosted by University of Leeds ABSL, eBIC Diamond Light Source, and University of Leicester, this four day course is targeted at those with no or very little experience in cryo-electron tomography, and will introduce participants to sample preparation, tilt-series acquisition, and image analysis pipelines. Participants will work in small groups with instructors to gain hands-on TEM (Titan Krios) experience, and learn how to independently use software packages (IMOD, AreTomo, EMAN2 and RELION) for tomogram reconstruction, tomogram segmentation, particle picking, and sub-tomogram averaging.
