LCLS-II will provide revolutionary opportunities in Life Sciences from understanding the molecular mechanism of photosynthesis to visualizing the dynamics of biomolecules as they function. These opportunities arise from the unprecedented combination of high-repetition rate, photon energy range, short pulse duration and high coherence of LCLS-II.

 

The LCLS-II Life Sciences workshop aims to identify high-impact scientific questions that can be uniquely addressed with LCLS-II. Plenary presentations on the first day will address Grand Challenge topics in preparation for breakout sessions on the second day to discuss specific scientific and technical challenges.
