The Structural Biology School Kicks Off!

We are excited to announce the launch of the Structural Biology School, a cutting-edge training opportunity promoted by Area Science Park, Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste, and CNR.
The school kicked off on Monday, September 9, 2024, and aims to provide insights into the three-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, and to explain how this relates to their functions, thus promoting understanding of the molecular mechanisms and interactions. This area of interest represents a fertile ground for the prevention, detection and development of new pharmacological strategies and effective treatments like vaccines and antiviral drugs against pathogens posing potential epidemic threats.
The Structural Biology School is designed to equip participants with advanced theoretical knowledge and hands-on practical experience across the following key areas:

• Sample preparation for Macromolecular Crystallography and SBDD
• Macromolecular Crystallography: structure solution and analysis
• Sample preparation for Single-Particle Cryo-Electron Microscopy (Cryo-EM)
• Cryo-EM Single Particle Analysis and Cryo-Electron Diffraction (Cryo-ED)

Within the school, which will involve expert teachers from the three promoting partners, we are pleased to offer a selection of open lectures, held by internationally recognized invited speakers with sector-specific skills and expertise, which will be available both in-person and online.
