Dear Team, I hope this email finds you well. My name is Nourin Ferdausi and I am a graduate student at the Department of Biological Sciences in Purdue University. My colleague, Priyanka Naik (cc’d here) and I are writing to you on behalf of the Structural Biology and Biophysics Club (SBBC). We are hoping to organize a virtual workshop focused on UCSF Chimera, and we would be honored if one of your team members could conduct this workshop. The graduate students and researchers of our structural biology group use a wide variety of experimental approaches like cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography for determining molecular structures. Consequently, the Chimera software is integral to our research, and we believe your insights would be of great impact to our community. We are flexible with the format of this virtual workshop, which is tentatively scheduled for mid-September; however, we are open to adjusting the date based on your availability. Your participation will provide our members with a unique opportunity to learn directly from a developer of UCSF Chimera. Please let me know if we can have a quick Zoom call to discuss the event in detail. We look forward to your reply at your earliest convenience! Thank you, Nourin Ferdausi Ph.D. Candidate, Noinaj Lab Supporting officer, Structural Biology and Biophysics Club Department of Biological Sciences Purdue University Hockmeyer Hall of Structural Biology West Lafayette, IN-47907-2054
