Apply Now to Nanobodies4Instruct Training Course
The second Nanobody4Instruct Training Course will be held in Brussels from 8 to 17 January 2023.
The workshop is devoted to the hands-on discovery of nanobodies for applications in structural biology. Trainees will also be introduced to applying Nbs in X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM. New developments in the field (Megabodies, Fluobodies) will also be introduced. The deadline for applications is 29 August. 12 researchers/students from INSTRUCT member countries will be selected.
Course tutors will include:
- Jan Steyaert (Novel applications of Nanobodies in structural biology)
- Els Pardon (Nanobody discovery)
- Rouslan Efremov (Nanobodies in Cryo-EM)
- Plus many more!
Application details
The workshop is particularly targeted for PhD students or postdocs having projects aimed at 3D structure determination using X-ray crystallography or cryo-EM, working at institutes of Instruct-ERIC countries. Trainees are encouraged to send proteins in advance. There is no registration fee, and we aim to also cover the accommodation costs and meals of the students. Application for the course can be submitted from now on till August 29 to Maia De Kerpel (Maia.De.Kerpel@vub.be). The application should include:
