March 30 - April 02, 2015, EMBL Grenoble Professor Pawel Penczek (director of the "Structural Biology Imaging Center at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston") presented the latest techniques of image analysis he has developed and applied to electron microscopy. There were some theoretical courses and practical work (either on model or personal data). This workshop, led by Irina Gutsche (UVHCI) and jointly organized by IBS, UVHCI and EMBL, brought together twenty (...)

March 1rst- April 1rst, 2015, EPN Campus, Grenoble Co organizd by the Université Joseph Fourier (UJF) and Grenoble INP, this 4-week school is a yearly event, established in 1991. It provides training for students, postdoctoral and senior scientists from European and non-European universities and laboratories, in the field of Neutron and Synchrotron Radiation for condensed matter studies (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, Geosciences, Industrial applications). It includes (...)

23-24 March 2015, IBS A new facility for the use of neutrons began its construction in Lund, Sweden. This source, the European Spallation Source (ESS), will have among others a diffractometer for crystallography of biological macromolecules (NMX diffractometer), whose commissioning is planned around 2023. The expected neutron flux and reduced beam size should allow a real revival of neutron crystallography, raising much of the current limitations, particularly in terms of crystal size and (...)

March 12-13, 2015, Toulouse This event brings together microbiologists, computer scientists, biochemists, biophysicists and chemists, (about 80 people) of the French scientific community to discuss about the role of Archaea, understand the fundamental molecular mechanisms of these organisms and their viruses, their presence in the human microbiome and new technologies associated. 80 people attended these conference. B.Franzetti (IBS/ELMA group) was part of the scientific committee (...)

From 2nd to 5th February, 2015, IBS-Grenoble The AILM 2015 workshop will focus on the development of isotopic labelling techniques and their application to the study of biomolecular structure and dynamics. Conference sessions will cover developments in isotopic labelling strategies for NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, neutron scattering and diffraction, as well as methodological approaches, such as co-expression, segmental labelling, specific labelling and sample production in vitro (...)

From 26th to 30th January 2015, IBS - Grenoble This School will provide both practical and theoretical training in state-of-the-art isotopic-labelling approaches for NMR studies.
