INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING THE REGISTRATION FORM
To facilitate the processing of your application, certain summary information will be abstracted from the "Motivation for applying" and "Short CV" fields inside the form for tabulation.
*1.* Please include the following information in the first line of the "Short CV" field.
(Give dates as MM/YY)
i. Date of birth
ii. Current position (Ph.D. student, Post-doc, other - specify) and date you began in this position.
iii. Current supervisor's name
iv. Date you obtained your Ph.D (if applicable)
Examples:
"Born: 05/81. Ph.D student since 08/06 with Bruce Philipps"
"Born: 05/76. Post-doc since 10/05 with Jane Brewster. Obtained Ph.D 03/02"
"Born: 03/62. Group Leader since 07/95. Obtained Ph.D 09/87"
*2. *In the first line(s) of the "Motivation for applying" field, give the following details (if known) for at least one macromolecular complex that you are currently trying to
characterize:
i. Name of complex
ii. Principal technique(s) to be used: EM, crystallography, NMR, mass spec, etc iii. Mol weight and stoichiometry of each species and total Mol weight of complex
Examples:
"Fork/Spoon/DNA complex by crystallography. Fork (10 K), Spoon homotrimer (3x15 K), DNA duplex (15 K). Total MW=70K."
"Cryptosome by mass spec. At least 15 subunits (Crp1 - Crp7, Ps5, Rx3, others unknown) with individual MW of 10-75 K. Stoichiometry unknown. Total mass > 800 K."
If you are not currently trying to characterize a complex, please clearly explain how attending this course will benefit your research.
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION
After you have submitted your registration information you will be automatically prompted to submit an abstract, where you can provide further details concerning your current project (e.g. biological background, preliminary results, objectives).
This may be left blank if there is insufficient data (e.g., for first-year Ph.D. students just beginning their project) or if you have already described all the relevant information concerning your project on the registration page.
Successful applicants who attend the course will be requested to bring a poster describing their project, which they will present during a poster session.
