CSHL macromolecular crystallography course
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) is a leading international center for research and education. As part of its mission, each year CSHL organizes 30 advanced technical science courses, with organizers, instructors and participants from all over the world.
CSHL is offering a course in macromolecular crystallography October 12 – 28, 2025. X-ray crystallography has been the cornerstone of structural biology for half a century and remains the technique of choice for atomic resolution understanding of macromolecules and for structure guided drug discovery.
The course combines laboratory and computational instruction to train course participants in the major techniques used to determine three-dimensional structures. It’s designed for scientists with a working knowledge of protein structure and function, but who are new to macromolecular crystallography or who wish to increase their in-depth knowledge of macromolecular crystallography.
Participants have extensive hands-on training in well-equipped labs in how to crystallize proteins and determine crystal structures by several methods, while learning through lectures on theory and methods. Both basic and advanced subjects are covered during lectures, which are given by leaders in the field. Informal discussions behind the techniques are frequent and students are expected to pose questions to be answered in interactive sessions
Applicants should be familiar with the creation and editing of simple text files on Linux workstations.
The application deadline is July 15. For more information, or to complete an application, visit the CSHL course site.
