DESCRIPTION:\n\nThis workshop is aimed  to those who wish to learn about
  fibre structure analyses\; wish to discuss existing and novel experimenta
 l approaches\; and established/developed methodology/analyses.\n\nArea and
  Aims of the workshop:  Amyloid diseases are caused by aggregation of pro
 teins and their accumulation as amyloid fibrils in cells and tissues. Much
  research is focused on understanding the basic biology of amyloidosis\, a
 nd how it relates to disease aetiology. Integrative structural biology is 
 an integral part in order to achieve this but also very challenging. The w
 orkshop will therefore address several aspects of amyloid structure analys
 is ranging from sample preparation\, over amyloid fibre diffraction and co
 mplementary methods such as single particle cryoEM\, to data collection an
 d modelling. The workshop will discuss how different methods and length sc
 ales in the structure analyses can be bridged\, and also how in vitro and 
 in vivo specimens are linked.  As is described below\, the workshop will 
 be composed of five sessions that will address the different topics\n\nWho
  should participate: The workshop wishes to bring together researchers fro
 m different scientific areas to discuss existing and novel experimental ap
 proaches to determine amyloid structures. The participants may have specif
 ic knowledge in methodology that relates to the different topics\, or may 
 have a specific biological or medical research question that can be addres
 sed by structure analysis methods.   \n\nFormat: Meeting is divided into
  four major and connected topics. Each topic is introduced by a keynote s
 peaker and followed by 2-3 contributed talks/scientific question/solution 
 descriptions. The topic is then open for discussions and summary.\n\nDeadl
 ine for registration is October 30.\n\n\n	Registration should include shor
 t motivation letter (max half a page) on why attending the meeting. Please
  specify your science case/methodology and which session(s) that are of hi
 ghest interest for you\, and if you are willing to contribute with a short
  talk. This information will be used to make the final program. (send in t
 he letter under Call for Abstracts)\n	We also ask the participant to send 
 us questions prior to the meeting that you would wish to have addressed\, 
 and that can be discussed during the meeting.\n\n\nDate: Nov 21 and 22\, 2
