This page is the home page for the research groups headed by Karsten Theis, Scott Garman, and Jeanne Hardy. These three groups share a common interest in structural biology, including X-ray crystallographic techniques. Our labs are all located on the 10th floor of Lederle Tower, along with the X-ray diffraction facility.
If you are looking for the home page of the UMass X-ray diffraction facility, you can find it here.
If you are looking for Karsten Theis' home page, it is here, while Scott Garman's home page is here, and Jeanne Hardy's is here.
Pictures of the UMass Macromolecular X-ray Diffraction facility open house are here.
We offer a journal club every spring. In addition, we offer an intensive course in hands-on x-ray diffreation in January. In this hands-on course, up to 12 participants learn how to crystallize proteins, measure diffraction data and place atomic models into electron density. The lecture notes are available as pdf files (1, 2) and online slideshow (1,2), and are indexed on a site map.
The home page of the Crystallography Journal Club (BMB 695a, Methods in Macromolecular Crystallography) is here
As of Jun 2008, group meetings are Fridays at 9:00am in LGRT 703. If you have a conflict with your presentation date, it is your responsibility to switch with someone else.
