Dear Colleagues,
It is with pleasure that we invite you to participate in the Biophysical Society Thematic Meeting entitled Emerging Theoretical Approaches to Complement Single-Particle Cryo-Electron Microscopy, which will be held at the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Trieste, Italy from October 21-25, 2024.
The field of biology is experiencing a transformative phase, thanks to remarkable advances in single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). The explosion of high-resolution cryo-EM maps is challenging computational biophysics to rapidly and robustly discern mechanistic implications from the experimental data. Emerging theoretical approaches aim at processing, validating, complementing, and interpreting cryo-EM data, overcoming issues in image analysis, map refinement, and the simulation of large biomolecules.
This thematic meeting seeks to explore the interface between computational biophysics and cryo-EM, highlighting the breadth of work that spans these two fields, and encouraging new synergies. Our goal for this meeting is to maximize the potential of computations and experiments in the field of single-particle cryo-EM.
We have invited an exciting list of international speakers, and we also solicited presentations in planned sessions on managing approaches to antibiotic resistance, measuring and modeling community interactions in cryo-EM and computational biophysics.
Visit the website for the program overview and additional meeting details. We encourage you to share this information with colleagues and students who may be interested in presenting their research and collaborating with a global community.
Please note that the deadline to submit an abstract is June 3, 2024, and the deadline to register at the early registration rate is June 24, 2024. Abstract submission is free and short talks will be selected from among submitted abstracts.
We look forward to your contributions and enthusiastic participation in this stimulating meeting!
Sincerely,
The Organizing Committee:
