One is funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and studies EGFRs and associated complexes on the cell membrane. EGFR is a membrane protein of around 200 kDa involved in breast cancer and a target for new therapies. In this study our collaborators at Zurich-ETH produce cryo-ET tilt-series which are then transferred to Madrid for

A 3-day Data Processing on Cryo-EM applied to macromolecular complexes: single particle analysis and atomic modelling Workshop will be organized in Oeiras.The aim of this workshop is to introduce all the steps for image processing and atomic modelling. The course will be taught using Scipion a software platform that integrates many image processing packages especifically designed for Electron Microscopy

En el marco del proyecto ERC-Synegy “HighResCell”, la Unidad de Biocomputación del Centro Nacional de Biotecnología CSIC desearía incorporar a un excelente investigador postdoctoral para adentrarse en un proyecto complejo, en la frontera de la ciencia y de la tecnología, en un equipo puntero de investigación que, específicamente en cryoEM, cuenta con la Universidad de

The Biocomputing Unit at the National Centre for Biotechnology (CNB-CSIC) is seeking a candidate to work on the 3DBIONOTES project in the context of ELIXIR. 3DBIONOTES is a framework for the integration of structural and molecular biology with genomic information (parts of 3DBIONOTES have been recently selected as ELIXIR Recommended Interoperability Resources). The candidate will

Electron Microscopy (EM) is rapidly growing as a high-resolution technique for structural biology. However, the high price of the electron microscopes is causing the concentration of scientific equipment in a few labs whose access is granted through infrastructure projects, like Instruct. A typical session in one of these high-end microscopes can generate up to 2TB

Image Processing in cryoEM: Quality checks. NECEN Cryo-EM School In April 2018, a 4-week CryoEM School will take place at The Netherlands Centre for Electron Nanoscopy (NeCEN). From the 3rd until the 26th of April, 6 participants will receive hands-on Titan Krios training from the experienced operators at NeCEN. You can bring your own sample

Image Processing in cryoEM: Its peculiar needs and challenges. Cryo-EM workshop at the International Symposium on Grid and Cloud Computing

Canadian Microscopy and Cytometry Symposium – May 9-12, 2017 in Montreal, Québec, Canada. The field of cryo-EM is living the so-called resolution revolution thanks to a series of technical advantages, and is starting to provide high-resolution reconstructions routinely. However, at present, cryo-EM is not a push-button technique and a lot of experience has to be

Python Developers position open at I2PC in Madrid. Our team owns and develops an opensource image-processing platform widely used on biomedicine. We are involved in several European and Spanish National Research Projects and our software is extensively used in many top institutions all over the world with a high impact on the scientific community. Find

The major goal of this meeting will be to present what ScipionBox can do now, what is coming very quickly, and, most importantly, what specific new developments would be needed for being a good system for the Facilities.
