International CryoEM Symposium in Rio

Welcome to the International CryoEM Symposium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This exciting event is set to take place from November 1st to 3rd, 2023 and promises to be an incredible opportunity to explore the latest developments in cryo-electron microscopy. We are thrilled to bring together some of the most renowned researchers and experts in the field of cryoEM from around the world to share their insights, discoveries, and knowledge. The symposium is all set to explore different areas of cryomicroscopy, including quick freeze of biological samples, freeze fracture, freeze-etching, cryo-scanning microscopy, freeze-substitution, single particle analysis, cryolamella preparation and cryo-electron tomography. This Symposium was idealized to celebrate the inauguration of the Cryo Microscopy Sector of the National Center for Structural Biology and Bioimaging (CENABIO), that is localized at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). The CENABIO already count with an Advanced Microscopy Facility and the expansion of this, with implementation of a dedicated cryomicroscopy sector, is of great importance for Brazilian science.

Introduction to 2D and 3D Image Processing and Analysis

This mini-course presents the principles of image processing and analysis methodology applied to 2D and 3D images obtained by different microscopy techniques. The traditional sequence - acquisition, pre-processing, segmentation, post-processing, measurements, and classification - will be presented. New features based on AI and Deep Learning will also be discussed. No previous knowledge is needed. The short course is appropriate for both materials and biology researchers.

Requirement: bring your computers

Date: November 6th (Monday) between 9AM-12PM and 1PM-5PM and November 7th (Tuesday) between 9AM to 12PM.

Location: FPE (more details soon)

Professors: Sidnei Paciornik (PUC-Rio) and Karen Soares Augusto (PUC-Rio)

CellProfiler course - Learn to turn bioimages into data

Date: November 6th (Monday) between 9AM-12PM and 1:30PM-5PM.

Location: Laboratório de Imunopatologia Keizo Asami - Av. Prof. Moraes Rego, 1235 - Cidade Universitária, Recife - PE - CEP: 50670-901 - https://www.ufpe.br/ilika

Professors: Mario Costa Cruz (USP) and Dra. Angela Castoldi (UFPE)

Vacancies: 20

Requirement: Laptop (Mac, Linux or Windows)

Objective: Learn to turn bioimages into data using the free, open source software CellProfiler (https://cellprofiler.org/). This interactive workshop will go over the basics of creating a CellProfiler pipeline from start to finish within a focus on understanding how to adapt CellProfiler pipelines and module settings to new datasets. We will also demonstrate how to use the new CellProfiler plugins for deep learning-based segmentation with cellpose and stardist. The plugins runCellpose and runStardist make these algorithms more accessible and allow for their inclusion in existing CellProfiler workflows. The workshop is an introduction to CellProfiler and targeted to beginners with very little or no experience with the software.

The molecular revolution - Introduction to cryoEM Single Particle Analysis

Date/hour: Monday (11/06 - 13:00-17:00 and 08:30 - 12:00).

Location: UFPE (more details soon)

Professors: Leonardo Talachia Rosa (USP) and Germán Sgro (USP)

Vacancies: 30

Objective: Cryo electron microscopy has revolutionized the field of structural biology in the last decade, as it allowed the near-atomic reconstruction of (multi)protein complexes in a state very close to the native state, leading to answers to biological questions hitherto unexplored. This mini-course aims to give an overview of this powerful technique, with a focus on characterization by Single Particle Analysis. Topics such as the potential applications and limitations of the technique, the necessary infrastructure, sample preparation and computational processing of the collected data will be addressed, so that the student can take the first steps towards the use of the technique in their research projects.
