Microscopy & Microanalysis 2019 in Portland, Oregon
- BATTELLE (PACIFIC NW LAB)
The Microscopy Society of America (MSA), the Microanalysis Society (MAS), and the International Field Emission Society (IFES) cordially invite you to Microscopy & Microanalysis 2019 in Portland, Oregon. We are excited and honored to feature two Nobel Prize laureates as our plenary lecturers. Our first plenary speaker will be Dr. Joachim Frank, Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics and of Biological Sciences at Columbia University, New York. He shared with Jacques Dubochet and Richard Henderson the 2017 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for “Developing cryo-electron microscopy for the high resolution structure determination of biomolecules in solution.” Our second plenary speaker will be Dr. Richard Henderson of the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (MRC LMB), Cambridge, UK. He will present a talk titled “Single particle cryoEM: potential for further improvement.” As usual, M&M 2019 will present a great variety of symposia topics in analytical, life, and physical sciences. This year, we have a special symposium: “Cryo-EM – from Physics to Cell Biology: Honoring the Remarkable Legacy of Ken Downing.” It will showcase the late Dr. Downing’s work in single-particle cryo-EM, cryo-electron tomography, and the microscopy methods he used for his seminal discoveries. Preceding the M&M 2019 technical program, we will have two pre-meeting congresses. Education and training are important components of the M&M technical program each year, and 2019 is no exception. Six Sunday short courses on material science, biology, and data analysis will be presented. Additional opportunities are available in tutorials in biology and physical sciences during the meeting week. Finally, our popular microscopy outreach workshop “Project MICRO” will be in the MegaBooth all week. For a complete description of the technical program and educational opportunities, please go to http://www.microscopy.org/MandM/2019. The Call for Papers and other aspects of the program and the meeting are provided under “Scientific Program.” The Executive Program Committee welcomes you to Portland for an excellent and compelling Microscopy & Microanalysis 2019. Catch up with old friends and make new ones! Look for opportunities to attend society business meetings and socials during the week. On behalf of MSA, MAS, IFES, in cooperation with over a hundred symposia organizers and countless volunteers, we look forward to seeing you in Portland this August!
