2018 Spring Symposium IV

April 11-12th 2018 | Keele University

CCP-EM are proud to announce the fourth annual ‘CCP-EM Spring Symposium’. The conference aims to provide a forum to highlight state of the art developments in computational cryoEM and related themes as well as showcasing outstanding recent applications. We promote an inclusive, friendly atmosphere welcoming both old and new to the community. Topics range from detector developments, image processing, single particle reconstruction, high resolution model building & validation, machine learning, tomography and electron diffraction.

Videos of most of the talks can now be found on YouTube.
