FRISBI
FRISBI offers a range of workshops to train graduate and post-graduate students in integrated structural biology. FRISBI courses are open to french and european researchers, from academic and industry.
Cryo-EM Sample Preparation Practical Course (Grenoble, May 2026)
The eighth hands-on “Instruct — FRISBI — PSB Grenoble Cryo-EM Course on Sample Preparation”, jointly organised by the ESRF, EMBL Grenoble, and the IBS, continuing a series initiated in 2018.
📍 Location: European Photon and Neutron Campus, Grenoble, France
📆 Dates: May 19–22, 2026
📝 Application deadline: April 12, 2026
The course will cover both theoretical and practical aspects of sample preparation, including iterative grid screening and evaluation for sample optimization. Participants will have access to state-of-the-art instrumentation (2× Glacios, 2× Titan Krios, 4× Vitrobot), as well as a demonstration of cryo-FIB milling (2× Aquilos), providing insight into how single-particle cryo-EM connects to cryo-ET workflows.
There is no registration fee. Meals and accommodation will be provided free of charge; however, participants are responsible for their travel to and from Grenoble.
A maximum of 16 participants will be selected. Participants may bring their own samples for testing, subject to suitability.
Applications are now open. Successful applicants will be notified within one week of the deadline.
