DST welcomes all the participants for the workshop on Single Crystal X-Ray crystallography organised under STUTI. The STUTI program envisions hands-on-training and sensitization of the state-of-the-art equipment as well as towards sharing while ensuring transparent access to S&T facilities. Department of Science and Technology has identified IIT Gandhi Nagar (IITGN) as the Project Management Unit (PMU) and VIT as the coordinator for this workshop.

VIT Vellore is home to state-of-the-art instrumentation for SCXRD and the workshop will explore the theory and practice involved in various stages of molecular structure determination. Expert talks will provide our vision for the use of crystallography beyond simple structure determinations. We will highlight unusual problems faced in structure determination and provide solutions through expert lectures and hands-on training.
