We are delighted to offer a 1-day course (including theory and hands-on practical sessions, laptop required) focussing on relaxation data analysis using the well-supported software CcpNmr AnalysisDynamics and ChemEx. ¹⁵N relaxation data (T₁, T₂, heteronuclear nOe) as well as more advanced relaxation dispersion and CEST data will be carefully extracted and analysed to learn how to use the software and show how these data should be treated and interpreted to provide accurate insight into the important mechanisms and functions of biomolecules.

The course will provide useful practical hints and tips not generally found in text books, with training provided by experts in the field.

Programme Summary :  

Session 1: CcpNmr AnalysisDynamics (Dr Vicky Higman, CcpNmr Team).

Session 2: ChemEx (Dr Guillaume Bouvignies, ENS Paris).

Pre-requisites: To gain the most benefit from the course, exposure to basic ¹⁵N relaxation data measurement and analysis of macromolecules as well as hands-on spectrometer experience is desirable. Students will need to bring a laptop pre-loaded with AnalysisDynamics and ChemEx software (laptops not supplied).

We look forward to seeing you!

The Bladder Cancer Research Centre (University of Birmingham) and the Transforming cancer OUtcomes through Research (TOUR) team (King’s College London and Guy’s Hospital) are organising their 9th Bladder Cancer Translational Research Meeting - a fully interactive bladder cancer clinical research meeting led by an international expert panel of clinicians and scientists in the U.K.

The forum is designed to bridge the gap between science and clinical practice and will cover the spectrum of bladder cancer research in oncology, urology, nursing, epidemiology, immuno- and molecular biology.

Take advantage of early bird rates, which are available until 14^th February 2027. After this date, registration prices will increase.

The SIMBA (Simulation via Instant Messaging for Bedside Application) model is a real-time, simulation-based medical education programme delivered through WhatsApp and Zoom, developed in the UK to address the gap between theoretical knowledge and the confident, practical application of guidelines in acute diabetes care.

Cases are built by combining generative AI with expert clinical input, and the model has been peer-reviewed and shown to be an effective way of disseminating information through interactive cases and individualised feedback for participants.

Notably, this approach has been found to significantly enhance confidence and is perceived as highly relevant for training in acute diabetes management. This session now  brings this proven model to a US audience, using realistic, case-based simulation to strengthen participants' skills and confidence in navigating complex, time-sensitive diabetes presentations.

In order to participate, you will need Whatsapp installed on your device, preferably your computer or laptop for the simulation. You will receive detailed instructions on how to join the session via email closer to the session date. 

Come along to find out about the range of facilities and services across CMH, talk to staff and tour at the facilities.
