Dear Colleague:

On behalf of the program committee, you and your colleagues are cordially
invited to join us for the 66th Annual Pittsburgh Diffraction Conference to be
held from October 30th - November 1st, 2008 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at
the Holiday Inn University Center.

The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers in all areas of
fundamental and applied diffraction and crystallographic research to present
current topics. The program of the 2008 conference includes diffraction
phasing, structure refinement and validation, synchrotron data collection,
environmental science, materials science, chemistry and combined methods for
structural biology research including NMR, Cryo-EM, EXAFS, and Raman
spectroscopy.

Conference speakers include:

Sandy Asher, Department of Chemistry, University of Pittsburgh
Pavel Afonine, The Berkeley Center for Structural Biology, LBNL
Guillermo Calero, Department of Structural Biology, University of Pittsburgh
Tom Caradoc-Davies, Protein Crystallography, Australian Synchrotron
Paul Carey, Department of Biochemistry, Case Western Reserve University
Angela R. Criswell, Rigaku, USA
Yu-Sheng Chen, Microcrystallography, ChemMatCARS, APS
James Conway, Department of Structural Biology, University of Pittsburgh
Bryan Craven, Department of Chemistry, Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Angela Gronenborn, Department of Structural Biology, University of Pittsburgh
Bill Furey, Biocrystallography, VA Medical Center, University of Pittsburgh
Roger Hendrix, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Pittsburgh
Xinguo Hong, MacCHESS, Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source
Li-Wei Hung, The Berkeley Center for Structural Biology, LBNL
Christian Jelsch, LCM3B, Nancy University,
France Patrick Loria, Biophysical & Physical Chemistry, Yale University
Jianpeng Ma, Biochemistry, Baylor College of Medicine
Michael D. Moore, Department of Pharmaceutics, Duquesne University
Jianjun Pan, Department of Physics, Carnegie Mellon University
Kanagalaghatta Rajashankar, NE-CAT, APS / Cornell University
Kaustubh Sinha, Department of Biological Sciences, Carnegie Mellon University
John Rose, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, University of Georgia
Nathaniel Rosi, Department of Chemistry, University of Pittsburgh
Glenn Waychunas, Molecular Geochemistry & Nanoscience Group, LBNL
Hui Wu, NIST Center for Neutron Research
Junko Yano, Physical Biosciences, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory


For more information about the conference program please visit the
conference website: http://www.pittdifsoc.org/PDC_2008/schedule.htm
.


Poster sessions and social events, included in the program, provide many
opportunities for formal and informal discussions with the speakers. The Chung
Soo Yoo Award will be given to graduate students for best poster
presentation. To insure maximum participation, the cost of attending the
conference has been kept to a minimum.


The conference will be preceded by a workshop for researchers intrigued by or
new to crystallography titled, ‘Crystallography Made Easy through Automation’
on October 29th at the University of Pittsburgh, Structural Biology
Department. This workshop will introduce what structural information
crystallography can provide, the basics of crystallographic techniques (protein
crystallization, x-ray diffraction data collection, and data analysis) and then
demonstrate how these steps may be simplified by taking advantage of the
automated facilities available at Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory
and the Hauptman Woodward Medical Research Institute. The workshop is
open to 24 participants and advanced registration is required. For more
information and to register, please visit the workshop website:

http://www-conf.slac.stanford.edu/crystallography conf.slac.stanford.edu/crystallography> .

Discounted accommodations for the Pittsburgh Diffraction Conference and
workshop attendees are available at the Holiday Inn University Center. The
Holiday Inn is holding rooms at this discounted rate until October 8th.

For additional information and instructions, please view our website at:

or if you have any questions, please
feel free to contact me directly.

We look forward to seeing you in Pittsburgh!



Sincerely yours,

Aina Cohen
