Thus, organizing the Course in May 2020 is unfortunately not possible. We still believe we are allowed to organize the course this year, probably in August, or October. Please bookmark and visit our webpage frequently to learn the new date. Registered applicants will be notified by email. The registration deadline is currently extended until June 7.

The course Advanced methods in macromolecular crystallization IX will take place in Nove Hrady, Czech Republic in May 16-22, 2020. This course (for undergraduate, postgraduate students and postdocs with an interest in macromolecular crystallization) is a continuation of eight previous successful FEBS-supported crystallization courses. The main aim and big advantage of this course compared to other established protein crystallization courses is consideration of theoretical aspects of crystal growth process as well as practical work: there will be a healthy mixt of advanced discussions of the theory and of laboratory experiments and the possibility for participants to crystallize their own proteins. Direct contact between participants and experts in the field acting as teachers and tutors ensures the possibility of discussing and solving a participant’s own scientific problems.

The XVII Discussions in Structural Molecular Biology and the 4th User Meeting of CIISB will be held in the cozy environment of the castle Zamek in Nove Hrady, South Bohemia, 19 – 21 March 2020.

For the CSSB members: There will be CSSB Council elections at the 2020 Discussions so participation of you – CSSB members – at the meeting is highly desirable to make it all happen.Further details will be published soon – watch this space.

We are glad to inform you that we are going to organize short minisymposium named “New Trends in BioScience together with NanoTemper workshop”. The minisymposium is organized to acquaint participants with news in the field of structural biochemistry and biomedicine. Emphasis is placed on new and rapidly increasing techniques and the possibility of applying new knowledge into practice. The symposium will allow participants to test their own samples by taking part in the NanoTemper WS, which is scheduled for second day.

Date: October 10-11, 2019

Place: Building C, Faculty of Science, Uni of South Bohemia in Ceske Budejovice

Registration: until September 20^th, 2019

All information and registration at www.xray.cz/newtrends

If you plan to participate at the NanoTemper WS and try to measure your own samples, please read “NanoTemper files” on the webpage and follow instruction there.
