ARIA will be unavailable on 23rd July 2025 due to scheduled maintenance. Please plan work accordingly.
Training in structural biology methodology

 

!!! The iNEXT-Discovery project ended on July 31, 2024 !!!

Many of our structural biology services will remain available through Instruct-ERIC.

(SEMI-)PRACTICAL TRAINING

Besides actively helping users with developing research questions, facility staff can provide hands-on training when users visit facilities for their experiments. This on-site training often reaches beyond data-collection and can involve experiment optimisation and data processing, analyses or integration. Research collaborations, small or large, can often be arranged even though the provision of access is our primary objective!

To allow our users a flavor of what facilities did with their precious samples during the Corona-pandemic, when in-person visits were impossible, we organised a series of webinars in which staff presented their facility and equipment and its routine and specialist procedures and usage.

In addition, we prepared with the Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE), an entire methods edition with structural biology technologies. Accompanied by an overarching editorial and video footage, these protocols give a good flavour about the access services that are available at our facilities!

 

COURSES AND WORKSHOPS

Theoretical and practical workshops disseminate knowledge and expertise in state-of-the-art structural biology approaches (see below). We include links and announce workshops whenever they take place. An overview of other iNEXT-Discovery events can be found here.
