Author: Update time: 2010-01-25

 

The China-Japan 3DEM Forum 2010 was held successfully at the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing from 4-6 January, 2010. The forum, presided by IBP Professor Fei Sun, was co-organized by the FEI Company, a leading provider of high-resolution imaging and analysis systems, the Biophysical Society of China, the Chinese Society of Electron Microscopy, and the Japanese Society of Microscopy. Over 80 Chinese and Japanese experts from both academia and industry attended the forum.

The forum featured with 16 keynote reports by renowned experts who introduced state of the art microscopy technology. IUPAB President, Professor Nagayama presented the latest research progress in phase-plate technology and correlative light and electron microscopy; Professor Changcheng Yin from Peking University reported the recent achievement in the study of three-dimensional structure of hepatitis E virus capsid through Cryo-TEM and X-ray crystallography; Professor Iwasaki from Osaka University, Japan demonstrated the excellent three-dimensional electron microscope structure of rice dwarf virus; Professor Mitsuoka from the Center of Biomedical Informatics, Japan National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (BIRC, AIST) reported the latest technology in the 3-D structure study of substrate binding state of chaperone GroEL via liquid helium cooling stage; IBP Professor Fei Sun reported the recent research on the conformational change of type II molecular chaperone through CryoEM and X-ray crystallography; …… The illuminating presentations were followed by animated discussions on topics of common interests.

On January 6, the last day of the 3DEM Forum, the FEI Company organized its internal workshop on its new innovation and products on the 3D imaging field. This workshop, open to the public, was also attended by many interested Chinese students and scholars. The 3DEM Forum supplied an excellent platform for sharing of new developments and ideas and promoting exchanges and developing bilateral cooperations in the related fields.
