Wondering how to get your students, employees or
coworkers up to speed in crystallography and structure based drug
discovery? Or are you an experienced bimedical 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 and discount vouchers or a copy of my textbook
Biomolecular
Crystallography: Principles, Practice, and Applications to
Structural Biology are provided.
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.
Workshop fees now include discount
vouchers or a copy of my textbook

Ever despaired as a
practicing structural biologist turned
crystallographer about texts that were
either too technical, not technical enough,
or did not have any relevance to how things
are done in practice? Here is the solution:
A text written by a an experienced academic
teacher with ample of routine in the grunt
work of structure determination and
analysis. Many applications and examples
ranging from fundamental biochemical
questions to structure based drug discovery.
The book follows the
recommended curriculum established by the
US National Academies Committee for
Crystallography - BR is a panel member
of this committee.
