2025 Tsinghua Spring School on Cryo-ET with Dynamo

Tsinghua University, Beijing, China March 2-6, 2025 Register Now

Conference Introduction

Over the past decade, cryo-ET has made significant advances, greatly enhancing the throughput and resolution of in situ structural biology. These achievements have had a profound impact on the field of structural biology. We feel that it would be a fantastic chance for the community to gather at Tsinghua to share methods and discoveries in a cryo-ET workshop. The "2025 Tsinghua Spring School on Cryo-ET with Dynamo," organized by the Beijing Frontier Research Center for Biological Structure (FRCBS) at Tsinghua University, will take place from March 2 to 6, 2025, at Tsinghua University. The workshop is organized by Sai Li and Daniel Castaño Díez.

Key features:

Speakers & Theme:

This program will feature over ten leading experts on the international frontier of innovation and application of cryo-ET methodologies. The cryo-ET softwares authored by these speakers, including the PACEtomo, SPACEtomo and FISE for tilt-series data acquisition, TOMOMAN, cryoVesNet, cryoTIGER, NovaCTF, cryoCAT and MPicker for tomographic data preprocessing, Dynamo, novaSTA, emClarity and STOPGAP for subtomogram averaging, as well as ScipionTomo and flyTomo for all-in-one streamlined date processing. Together, these innovative methods have contributed to the cryo-ET revolution. The workshop will focus on cutting-edge technological advancements in the field and is designed to provide participants with a balanced blend of theoretical knowledge and practical experience.

Hands-on learning:

The course is designed with direct instruction from developers of mainstream cryo-ET software, supported by a dedicated team of teaching assistants. This approach ensures participants can quickly and effectively learn the software, with a strong focus on enhancing their learning experience.

Schedule:

Morning: Keynote lectures covering advanced cryo-ET methodologies, machine learning, and methodological innovations driving significant biological structure discoveries.

Afternoon: Hands-on practical sessions led by Dynamo author Daniel Castaño, senior user Sai Li with a team of over ten teaching assistants, guiding participants in the use of Dynamo and other essential cryo-ET tools.

Evening: Self-practice sessions, poster presentations, and interactive discussions.

Poster Presentation and Flash Talk
       This workshop will feature a dedicated poster session, including a flash talk segment, providing participants with ample opportunities to engage in discussions with speakers and fellow attendees. We strongly encourage students and researchers to submit posters showcasing their latest findings in the fields of cryo-ET or cryo-EM. Selected outstanding posters will be invited for oral presentation during the flash talk session.
