February 2, 2017 Workshop on Management of Large CryoEM Facilities – February 6-7, 2017
NYSBC, NRAMM and SEMC present a workshop on cryoEM facility management on February 6-7, 2017. During this 2-day workshop the focus is on best practices in managing cryoEM facilities. Topics to be discussed include sample handling, instrument management, computational environments, training, user management and workflow.
NeCEN is part of a limited number of facilities that has been invited to present their workflows (Diamond, NYSBC, Janelia, Florida State, Tsinghua and UCLA are the other invited facilities). Bram Koster, NeCEN’s Scientific Director, will give two talks, one on training and one on user base.
