We are pleased to announce an international training course in macromolecular crystallography (MX) and cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM), hosted by National Facility for Protein Science in Shanghai (NFPSS), will be held from September 6 through September 17, 2026.

Organizers:

National Facility for Protein Science in Shanghai (NFPSS)

Shanghai Advanced Research Institute (SARI)

Chinese Academy of Sciences

Collaborative Computational Project #4 (CCP4)

Collaborative Computational Project for Electron cryo-Microscopy (CCP-EM)

ShanghaiTech University

Chinese Crystallographic Society (CCrS)

Ruslan Sanishvili (Nukri) of King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) (Formerly at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory, USA)

Tutors:

Experts from the UK, Germany, Netherlands, the USA and China will teach theoretical foundations of macromolecular crystallography and electron cryo-microscopy and will provide training in software and in experimental aspects of both methods. Selected students will acquire hands-on experience in Cryo-EM sample preparation and data collection. Participants with crystals will have the opportunity to collect diffraction data at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF).

Application deadline: July 30, 2026
