This year the CCP4 Study Weekend will be held as a hybrid event from the 4th – 6th January, enabling people to choose whether to attend in-person or virtually.
The event will be run over 3 days. On Day 1, we will start after the Diamond MX User Meeting with a discussion panel talking and engaging with the audience about data sources and the future of structural biology. The subsequent 2 days will follow the usual format with 3 sessions each day. Old favourites like “What’s New in CCP4?” and “Lunchtime Bytes” will also appear each day (see programme for more details).
A poster session will also be taking place this year on the evening of the first day allowing students to present their research to the wider crystallographic community.
In keeping with previous CCP4 meetings, the lectures will focus on the presentation and discussion of advanced methods and techniques developed and used by the leaders in the field.
This year, the topic for the Study Weekend is “Data – Subtle details to big insights”. Sessions will cover:
Day 1
Diamond MX User Meeting
Session 1: Integrative structural biology
Where do we see structural biology heading in the future? Discussion panel
Day 2
Session 2: Fundamentals of crystallographic data
Aimed at covering the fundamentals of what data is and what we do with it.
Session 3: Fundamentals of samples and the experiment
Ensuring we get the best from our data by optimising sample preparation and the experiment and looking at complementary techniques.
Session 4: Choosing your source
Understanding the source and experiment types to better answer your biological question.
Day 3
Session 5: Big data
Learning the complexities of handling larger datasets for a variety of experiment types.
Session 6: Between the Bragg spots
Understanding your data and trying to extract more detail from it.
Session 7: A new era in Structural Biology
Looking to the future direction for structural biology.
