NE-CAT is offering a two-day Data Collection and Processing Bootcamp at the Advanced Photon Source in Lemont, Illinois on April 8-9, 2026.  Registration priority will be given to participants who have crystals or anticipate having crystals by the course date as the focus of the bootcamp will be on data collection and processing best practice. Participants must be registered users of the APS.  Data collection will be on 24-ID-E, the first beamline after the APS-U to be accepting General Users for Macromolecular Crystallography at the Advanced Photon Source.  24-ID-E is our monowavelength, micro-focus beamline.

Access to crystallography software will be provided by SBGrid through SBCloud.  Data processing will be taught by Graeme Winter and will focus on XDS and DIALS.  Students will go home with a dataset ready for structure solution and refinement.  Students will need a laptop with a web browser to access SBCloud.  The Bootcamp is limited to 20 participants.  Priority will be given to those who have crystals, followed by those who have existing data and/or problematic datasets but curated datasets will also be available for practice.  The Bootcamp is in-person.  The Bootcamp is free, but students are responsible for their own lodging and transportation. Breakfast, Lunch, coffee breaks and Dinner will be provided.
