Crystallography, Virtual Discovery and Crystallization Workshops

Wondering how to get your students, employees or coworkers up to speed in crystallography and structure based drug discovery? Or are you an experienced researcher wanting to learn more about structure based experimental and virtual drug discovery methods ?

We provide professional crystallography training courses and workshops ranging from small molecule diffraction to high throughput protein drug target crystallography and virtual ligand screening, covering essentials from fundamentals to cutting edge technology training.

Training courses can be conducted at your site, and range from single-day, multi-media and PowerPoint based  introductions to multi-day practical crystallization courses, up to full two-week lecture courses for academic settings and Universities. Specialty lectures by instrument manufactures and providers are easily included. The lectures are supplemented by interactive exercises from our acclaimed Crystallography 101 web course. Crystallization courses include supplies for  students, including everything needed to grow protein crystals. Participants can download course materials about 2 weeks before the courses commence.
