DESCRIPTION:\n\nLINXS\, on behalf of SwedNess\, will be hosting a course o
 n Neutrons in Life Science and Biomaterials.\n\nTime: 14-18 juni 2021\nPla
 ce: Zoom\nCourse leaders: Tommy Nylander\, LU and Trevor Forsyth\, ILL\nCr
 edits:  3 hp\nGrade Scale: Pass/Fail\nEligibility & Prerequisites: PhD st
 udents within SwedNess + other PhD students and Postdocs. Maximal number o
 f participants 30. Students will be expected to have a laptop computer suf
 ficient for the analysis and modeling. These practicals will be adapted to
  be possible on “standard” laptops. Literature will be distributed 2 w
 eeks before course start at the latest.\n\nMotivation letter: After the de
 adline for registration\, the organizing group will decide which applicant
 s are accepted for the school. The selection will be based on the applican
 ts’ letter of motivation (maximum half an A4) that must be included in t
 he registration. The motivation letter should declare the applicants’ re
 search focus and what they want and expect to gain from this PhD school.\n
 \nCourse goals:\n·      Orientation of the common classes of biomole
 cules\, how the interact and assembly into organelles\, cells and tissue\n
 ·      Orientation of the main neutron techniques to reveal structur
 e and dynamics in life science\n·      The toolbox for data evaluati
 on\n·      Useful complementary techniques\n·      How to writ
 e a successful neutron beam time application.\n\nSchedule: 2x2h lectures &
  discussions before lunch\, exercises and presentation of own project in t
 he afternoon.\nExtent: 5 days full time  + 1 week of writing case study\n
 Examination: literature report\, presentation of own research\, neutron be
 am time proposal and hand-in of case study\nTeachers: To be confirmed \n\
 nApplication deadline: June 7 \n\nCOURSE DESCRIPTION\n\nThe aim of the co
 urse is to expose SwedNESS students to state-of-the-art neutron methodolog
 y in Life Science\, and to provide a widened knowledge and experience basi
 s for using biomaterials in their own research as a basis for building fun
 ctional hypotheses. Examples of how neutron methods in Life Science can be
  used to increased functional understanding and develop novel concepts wil
 l be given by internationally recognised expertise. Theory and examples of
  best-practice will be presented within the following areas: Proteins\, Li
 pids\, Carbohydrates\, Structure and dynamics\, Cells and surfaces\, and I
 ndustrial applications. Exercises will include both hands-on evaluation of
  real neutron data in-silico as well as literature studies and beam time p
 roposal writing. The aim of the course is to prepare for active use of neu
 trons in own research projects as well as to develop neutron experiments a
 nd methodology for other life science application in general\, including b
 iomaterials and biomedical applications like drug delivery.   \n\nPROPOS
