description

The main objective of this advanced school is to train researchers in biology, biophysics, pharmacology, soft matter for health etc. to the use of X-ray (XR) and neutron scattering structural techniques (crystallography, small-angle scattering, reflectometry), ranging from experiments to complete and in-depth analysis of the data, based on mathematical and modeling approaches (e.g. analytical fits, ab initio modeling, artificial intelligence, Bayesian and multimodal methods). The complementarity of these scattering techniques with other structural biology methods, such as NMR, will be considered as well.

Another objective of FASEM is to promote the use of XR and neutron large-scale facilities, which are not yet currently used in biology. The new European neutron source (ESS) in Lund, to be commissioned in 2025, and the 4th generation synchrotrons will lead to a significant breakthrough in scattering techniques, opening particularly interesting perspectives for structural biology. FASEM will take place in Lund in order to encourage French and Swedish researchers to explore the new possibilities offered by these resources.

Therefore, the school will propose lectures (theory, hands-on, applications, highlights), discussion sessions, and visits to the MAX-IV and ESS, respectively XR and neutron sources in Lund.
