As academic scientists at IIT, CSRRI faculty are firmly

Current activities:
CSRRI faculty are organizing and operating the American
Crystallography Association (ACA) Summer School in Macromolecular
Crystallography (http://acaschool.iit.edu)
(July10-22, 2006). This is an intensive course in theory
of practice of macromolecular crystallography taken by people
from all over the country.
CSRRI faculty are also on the steering committee of the FiberNet
project (http://fibernet.vanderbilt.edu/),
a NSF funded Research Coordination Network for the development
of fiber diffraction techniques. CSRRI faculty are among the
organizers and participants in the upcoming FiberNet Fiber
Diffraction workshop (August 6-9, 2006), Fall Creek Falls State
Park, Tennessee (Co-sponsored by BioCAT and FiberNet). This
will consist of a series of talks and tutorials on fiber diffraction
