Welcome

The Canadian Macromolecular Crystallography Facility (CMCF) is excited to host the 12th Annual CLS Mx Data Collection School! Participants will attend a series of lectures and be actively engaged in macromolecular crystallography (Mx) data collection at CMCF beamlines. This year, we will be joined by special guest Paul Emsley, the primary author of COOT, the world-leading software for macromolecular model-building. Completing the school enables participants to make effective use of the beamlines remotely, and better equips researchers to collect and analyze diffraction data.

Each participant will be asked to deliver a 3-5 minute Flash Talk related to their research focus. Flash Talks will be scheduled at the start of one of the four Lunch-and-Learn sessions on November 7-10, and will be followed by discussions among participants - a great opportunity to network with other crystallographers at the school!

Completing the school enables participants to make effective use of the beamlines remotely, and better equips researchers to collect and analyze diffraction data.

Watch this site for updates and information about the school, and please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you in November!

How to Attend

This year's virtual program will be delivered primarily over Zoom, with detailed times and meeting links available to our registered participants on the Schedule page. You can join from the browser, from the Zoom desktop and mobile application, or from a landline or mobile phone. Zoom meeting rooms will be open 15 minutes before the start of each session to give you time to test your connection.
