Introduction The Structural Molecular Biology Summer School series at Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory provides lecture programs and hands-on training in the area of synchrotron-based structural biology. The goal of the Schools is to disseminate information about scientific opportunities in biological synchrotron radiation applications and train students on specific experimental techniques, such as macromolecular crystallography, small-angle x-ray scattering, and x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The Summer Schools are generally aimed at the graduate student level, but participation of researchers with more extensive experience in one of these techniques, and with an interest in using other complementary methods to further the scope of their research, is also welcome.
