Previous meetings and workshops before mid-2022

2022 will be marked by the retirement of Juan C. Fontecilla-Camps, who dedicated over thirty years to the understanding of the structure-function relationships of metalloproteins. Given the venue of the 16th EUROBIC meeting in Grenoble in July 2022, the Metalloproteins group is organizing a satellite symposium in the honor of Juan’s career, in order to review the contribution of structural biology to our understanding of the mechanism of several key metalloproteins. To know more and (...)

Profitant de la localisation de l’European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) et de l’Institut Laue Langevin (ILL) sur le même campus scientifique à Grenoble, ce cours pratique EMBO se concentre sur l’utilisation complémentaire de la diffusion des rayons X et des neutrons aux petits angles pour la détermination des structures des macromolécules biologiques. Une attention particulière sera accordée à la préparation des échantillons ainsi qu’à l’analyse et à l’interprétation des données SAS dans un (...)

This school, organized by RéNaFoBIS (Réseau National de Formation en Biologie Structurale Intégrative), aims at providing training for graduate students in the field of Integrative Structural biology.

During practical sessions (TP), English-speaking groups can be proposed if needed. D. Housset (IBS/IRAPS group) is co-organizer. IBS scientists give lectures and (...)

NADPH oxidases (NOX) are a unique enzyme family involved in regulated oxidant production for host defense and redox-based signaling. This meeting brings together established scientists and early-stage researchers from diverse disciplines to discuss the latest developments with respect to the structural biology of NOX enzymes, their functional regulation, mechanisms of NOX signaling and relation to metabolism, and implications for disease pathology and clinical application. This GRC will be (...)

This EMBO Practical Course aims to teach participants how to integrate structural biology approaches to expedite characterization of large macromolecular complexes from the atomic to cellular scale. Lectures and practical sessions will explain the techniques used to produce, purify, reconstitute and characterize multi-subunit protein and protein/nucleic acid complexes for structural analysis. Organizers are PSB researchers (Marco Marcia EMBL, Angelika Wladyslawa Thomasson EMBL, Carlo Petosa (...)

This 2.5-day practical workshop on sample preparation for single particle cryo-EM is jointly organised by the ESRF, EMBL Grenoble, ILL and the IBS.

This workshop is aimed at PhDs, PostDocs and scientists new to the field of single particle cryo-EM. During the course, participants will learn theoretical and practical aspects of sample preparation for single particle cryo-EM (...)

This biophysics school aims at training students, engineers and researchers about fluorescent labels used in advanced fluorescence microscopy. 16 internationally recognized scientists will teach state-of-the-art knowledge about fluorescent proteins and organic dyes. The school will take place in a friendly atmosphere in the beautiful site of les Houches, near Chamonix. Subscription deadline: 31st of October The organising committee: Dominique Bourgeois (Institut de Biologie Structurale, (...)

This one month course, coordinated by the Université Grenoble Alpes, is designed to provide 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). Neutron and X-ray science is integrated with complementary techniques like (but not only) optical and electron (...)

From 2004, ESONN is a three-week course aimed at providing training for graduate students, postdoctoral and junior scientists from universities and laboratories, all around the world, in the field of Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies. The academic and practical courses will cover aspects such as the elaboration, characterization and functionalities of nano-objects. Half of the formation is devoted to practicals, which are held in Grenoble clean room facilities at the Inter-university Centre (...)

The aim and scope of this meeting is to highlight progress in 3D imaging research that bridges the gap between the atomic and cellular scales, with spatial resolutions spanning from subnanometer to submicrometer range. Featured topics will include: cryo-electron tomography, X-ray tomography, volume electron microscopy, image analysis, super-resolution microscopy, and correlative approaches. The applications of the above methods to address essential questions in life sciences is of (...)

In June 2020, due to the sanitory situation related to the Covid-19 pandemic we were unable to organize our traditional annual Scientific Day. This year, the 2021 organizing committee set up a mixed edition on June 17 and 18: in remote format on June 17 and 18 mornings, with poster sessions in the hall during afternoons (3 posters presented by their author per hour). The speakers had made a special effort to prepare original plenary or duo presentations and zooms. On this occasion, the IBS (...)

The aim of this training is to provide participants with the necessary tools for the NMR study of interactions of liquids involving proteins (protein-biomacromolecule and protein-ligand complexes). This training is opened to young researchers in biological NMR (doctoral students, post-docs, M2 students under certain conditions), but also to technicians, engineers, academic or industrial researchers who wish to improve their skills in the field. Given the health context, the training will be (...)

The Les Houches-TSRC Workshop on Protein Dynamics is a biannual workshop usually held in Les Houches in the French Alps, close to Chamonix. It has established itself as a forum for presenting, teaching and discussing results from the application of state-of-the-art experimental (including, but not limited to, optical spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, XFELs, electron microscopy, AFM and scattering methods), and theoretical and computational approaches to studying (...)
