2023 Image Processing Workshop

he workshop will alternate theoretical discussions with practical examples using experimental data with a main focus on Single Particle Analysis (SPA).  We will demonstrate simultaneously how to apply different softwares at different stages of the image processing pipeline (like Relion, Xmipp, CryoSPARC, among others), a task that we will achieve transparently using the software integration framework Scipion.  We will also address some advanced topics in Tomography in which an extra degree of robustness can be introduced along similar lines as those introduced in SPA with the help of Scipion running iMod, EMAN, Relion, Dynamo, and Xmipp. Attendees are expected to be familiar with standard image processing pipelines in Single Particle Analysis. On the last day there will be talks and practices by different speakers on advanced image processing topics, as well as their connection with molecular motion, 3D visualization, atomic modeling, structure validation, and drug design.
