Open Call: Funding available for Slovenian researchers for remote access to Instruct-ERIC Structural Biology Services

18 Aug 2020

Since Slovenia is currently exploring Instruct-ERIC membership, an open call has been launched on Monday, August 17, 2020 to offer Slovenian researchers trial use of the structural biology services available through Instruct. Funding is from Instruct-ULTRA, Horizon2020 project #731005, with awards made to successful applicants following peer review. To apply for the call, there is a simple online proposal submission form, where you select your technology of choice and answer a short set of questions to form a proposal. Before applying there is a short step to register for an Instruct-ERIC account. The call closes on September 30, 2020, and all research work must be completed by December 15, 2020. Due to the short deadline, structural biology projects that have samples already prepared will be favoured. Apply now.

Launch of database for raw molecular biophysics data - MBDB

We have launched a public database where you can store your raw data with rich annotation of samples and conditions of measurements.

The Molecular Biophysics Database currently accepts depositions of raw measurement files from MST, BLI, SPR and ITC.

We invite you to deposit your data, make it findable, searchable and reusable at https://mbdb-data.org/

MBDB has been developed within the EU project MOSBRI by a team of developers mainly from the Institute of Biotechnology and CESNET. Its development continues and we welcome comments and suggestions at mbdb@ibt.cas.cz.

Analysis of micro and nanoplastic particles in Nanobio Core Facility

CF Nanobio offers the analysis of micro and nano plastic particles that pose risks to ecosystems and human health. Raman microscopy enables detailed chemical analysis of these particles in water, milk, blood, tissues, soil, and food. Semi-automated analysis using Particle Analysis software and an extensive polymer library ensures precise identification and quantification. The Renishaw InVia Raman microscope, with upgraded lasers and polarization capabilities, supports diverse applications.

Vladimír Sklenář Scholarship

To honor the memory of Prof. Vladimír Sklenář, an internationally renowned scientist and an important organizer of scientific activities in the Czech Republic, CEITEC Masaryk University is introducing the Vladimír Sklenář Scholarship. The scholarship is intended for students of doctoral studies at universities in the Czech and Slovak Republics working in the field of NMR spectroscopy, and can be used to cover the costs related to their studies. The intention is to strengthen and improve the quality of studies, as well as personal and career development.

The scholarship in the amount of CZK 100,000, which may be taxable according to the practice of the institution and/or the tax regulations of the beneficiary's country, is sponsored by Měřící technika Morava. The scholarship will be awarded to one person per year.

The deadline for applications for the 2025 scholarship has been set for 28 February 2025.

Enhanced SAXS Instrumentation: MetalJet D2+ Upgrade Boosts Performance and Beam Intensity

In CF Diffraction Techniques, we have successfully upgraded the X-ray source of the SAXS instrument. The upgrade of MetalJet C2 to D2+ brought
more than double intensity of the primary beam. The instrument enables rapid standard SAXS measurements with a low volume autosampler, SEC-SAXS
experiments or special applications, now with substantially improved signal to noise ratio.
