NeCEN organised the second Instruct workshop on cryo-EM best practices on 15-16 Oct 2018
Organisers
Ludo Renault, Susanne Roodhuyzen
Objectives
To share best practices between cryoEM centres for the delivery of services to academia and companies.
Following on the success of the first Instruct Workshop on cryo-EM best practices held in Harwell in May 2017 (link), NeCEN organised the second version that took place in Leiden, The Netherlands on 15-16 Oct 2018.
Focus was given towards operations, remote control, efficient usage of the machines and live processing in two separate sessions followed by round table discussions.
Recordings of the presentations and notes from the round table discussions can be found on this page. The full program is available here.
