Synchrotron radiation is used to address questions about biological systems at various length and time scales. The main methodologies employed are X-ray diffraction and scattering, imaging and spectroscopy.
The goal of the workshop is to discuss how biological applications of synchrotron radiation could profit from a diffraction limited storage ring and to identify experiments that are not possible today but would become possible with PETRA IV.
