The CCP4-BCA Protein Crystallography Summer School provides comprehensive training in macromolecular crystallography through a combination of lectures, hands-on tutorials and workshops.

Topics span the whole structure determination pipeline, from protein expression and crystallisation through to data processing, model building, refinement and validation. There is also a crystal manipulation and cryo-cooling workshop.

Participants benefit from intensively supervised computer tutorials and are encouraged to bring their own datasets to work on with help from experienced tutors.

The week also offers plenty of opportunities for networking with fellow students, postdocs and crystallographers during breaks and social events.

Key dates:

📅 Application deadline: 19 June 2026
📅 Supervisor references deadline: 26 June 2026
📅 Outcomes announced: 10 July 2026

#RosalindFranklin: 37 years of life. 16 years of science.
Beyond DNA. Beyond the lost #Nobel Prize or two(?)
Her #XrayCrystallography ignited:
• Carbon chemistry & fuel efficiency
• Seeds of #MolecularBiology and genomics
• Foundations of structural #virology

How do enzymes, nature's highly efficient catalysts, achieve almost perfect precision and efficiency?

This is the research question to be addressed by newly funded project in chemistry: “NEXT - Quantum Biology”. The funding will strengthen #interdisciplinary teams and bridge #StructureBiology and #QuantumPhysics.

Congratulations to researchers at our Uni, MPI-NAT in Göttingen, and Hamburg Uni: www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html?id=8028. With thanks to the Volkswagen Foundation.
