Crystal Clear Insights: Mastering Protein Crystallization

you are cordially invited to attend the pre-conference workshop,? crystal clear insights: mastering protein crystallization This hands-on workshop will be held at nsls ii on October 9, prior to the Pittsburgh Diffraction Conference. "Crystal Clear" aims to discuss basic and advance protein crystallization methods for advanced structural diffraction data collection. Participants will be able to select three of the five parallel hands-on sessions. All "crystal clear" pre-conference participants need to register until September 19, 2025. To REGISTER: email stojanof@bnl.gov with the subject line "Crystal Clear" Registration fee: U$ 75.00   (covers all meals) Registration closes: September 19, 2025    DATE: October 9, 2025 (PreConference Workshop to the PDC 2025) LOCATION: NSLS II, bldg 745 The PROGRAM includes:   Lecture: From Gene to Crystallization .... Crissy Tarver, SLAC   Hand-on Topics:  - Exploring the Phase Diagram for crystals for all applications .... Patrick Stewart, Douglas Instruments Ltd.  "Having trouble finding the proper crystallization conditions? Why not try to find the phase diagram for your protein? Learn about tricks and tips that will allow you to grow micro sized crystals for serial crystallography or neutron diffraction." - Vapor Diffusion Methods - from hanging drops to sitting drops  .... Darya Marchany-Rivera, SSRL "Not familiar with bio-molecular crystallization? This two hour hands-on tutorial is for you. You will learn about the different crystallization methods vapor diffusion, crystallization under oil, and others ...."     - Nanoliter and nano/micro sized crystals using the Acoustic Droplet Ejector ..... Alex Soares, NSLS II "This method is ideal if you have very small amounts of protein. Screen hundreds of conditions with just a few microliters. Interested in ligand or fragment screening this is a must learn crystallization method."  - Microfluidics crystallization and X-ray Diffraction .... Sarah Perry, UMASS Amherst "Want to analyze your crystals without touching them? Expose them to X-rays at room temperature or at pre determined time points to follow reactions."      - Sample prep for X-ray Diffraction and electron microscopy ....  Joyce Frank (Mitegen) & Crissy Tarver (SLAC) "This Mitegen lead tutorial will show you how to best prepare your crystals for room temperature experiments.  Learn tips and tricks that enable room temperature and time resolved crystallography."
