Dear all, those of you working in the membrane protein and/or carbohydrate field may be very interested in attending a 1 day workshop which will highlight the unique capabilities of the CD beamline B23, at Diamond. The workshop is focused  on how the technique can aid your research in these key areas.



The workshop will be a dynamic mix of introducing beamline basics, how to get beamtime, sample requirements &  experimental possibilities as well as a series of science case studies from recent users of the beamline and ample time for discussions with both beamline staff and experienced users.



There is a limited number of places so register now to avoid disappointment!
