Dear all,

Reminder for CCP-EM Spring Symposium...

This conference aims to provide a forum to highlight state of the art developments in computational cryoEM and related themes as well as showcasing outstanding recent applications. We promote an inclusive, friendly atmosphere welcoming both old and new to the community. Topics range from detector developments, image processing, single particle reconstruction, high resolution model building & validation, machine learning, tomography and electron diffraction.

The conference will be held 11-12th April at Keele University 2018 conference centre. Confirmed speakers include:
