Venue & accessibility info: Meridian Hall, Collegium Helveticum
This is a public event. Participation is free of charge and registration is not required.
The workshop is followed by a small reception.
X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFEL) can generate extremely bright and ultrafast X-ray pulses to determine structural properties of complex biomolecules at an atomic scale, and, create ‘molecular movies’ capturing rapid chemical processes with unprecedented temporal resolution. The high intensity of the X-rays destroys the studied samples immediately after detailed information is extracted. Consequently, fresh samples need to be delivered continuously, in sync with incoming X-ray pulses. This constitutes a key challenge for XFEL data collection.
This workshop brings together chemists, structural biologists, beamline scientists, and engineers to explore the latest advancements in sample delivery techniques for X-ray sources, with a specific focus on in-situ monitoring of bio-chemical reactions and serial crystallography.
