In our new pre-print, we describe phasing via single-wavelength anaomalous diffraction (SAD) in three model systems at 295 K. SAD experiments are often performed at cryogenic temperatures to mitigate radiation damage. By estabilishing a data collection...

Congrats to Jack Greisman for presenting his defense, "Resolving Correlated Motions in Proteins by X-ray Diffraction." Next up, Jack is off to D. E. Shaw Research in New York, where he will work on molecular dynamics simulations.

Congratulations to Kevin Dalton, who has received the Burroughs Welcome Fund's prestigious Career Award at the Scientific Interface (CASI) for his proposal, "Machine Learning Models for Next Generation X-Ray Diffraction Experiments." CASI provides bridge...

In our new preprint "Reciprocalspaceship: A Python Library for Crystallographic Data Analysis", we describe reciprocalspaceship, a Python library for handling crystallographic data. Download reciprocalspaceship for yourself here.

We're excited to announce our new preprint "Careless: A Variational Bayesian Model for Merging X-ray Diffraction Data." Careless represents a modern, deep-learning-based approach to simultaneous merging and scaling of crystallographic data. Code and...

We're excited to announce that Doeke has been chosen for the NIH Director's New Innovator Award, which rewards exceptionally creative early career investigators who propose innovative, high-impact projects in the biomedical, behavioral or social sciences...

Jack and Kevin have been hard at work developing ReciprocalSpaceship, a set of tools providing a pandas-style interface for analyzing and manipulating reflection data from crystallography experiments. We are excited to announce that this package is now...

Congrats to Ian Hun-Isaak for earning a National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship, awarded each year by the Department of Defense to students in a variety of disciplines, including the biosciences.

Congrats to Jack for winning an NSF fellowship!

MCB and SEAS assistant professor Doeke Hekstra has been chosen as a 2018 Searle Scholar. Each year, t he Searles Scholar Program–administered by the Kinship Foundation and funded by the estate of pharmaceutical magnate John G. Searle–selects 15 promising...
