Courses and Training

NTU students and staff can be trained to use the spectrometers in the facility. Before NMR technical training can be arranged with our research staff you must first complete a safety training and risk assessment. Once all the training is complete you will be able to book time on the spectrometers using the Central Equipment Booking System Facility Online Manager. Below is a checklist of the necessary steps required for training. 

1. Finish the SPMS safety training:  https://spms.ntu.edu.sg/Safety/Pages/SafetyGuide.aspx. Keep a screenshot once you have passed the required safety training modules and email to SPMS safety [email protected].
2. Finish risk assessment ONLINE (https://spms.ntu.edu.sg/Safety/Pages/Risk-Assessment.aspx) and send a copy of approved version to Dr Xue Kai or Dr Thomas Hooper and SPMS safety ([email protected]).
3. After 1-2, request the access to our facility (SPMS PAP 01-15) by completing PAP Lab access form according to the guidance on  https://spms.ntu.edu.sg/Safety/Pages/SafetyGuide.aspx. Add Dr Xue Kai or Dr Thomas Hooper as the approver.
4. Finish in-house NMR safety training (arranged by contacting Dr Xue Kai or Dr Thomas Hooper).
5. Finish in-house NMR technical training (arranged by contacting Dr Xue Kai or Dr Thomas Hooper). 

Postgraduate Courses

• MS7072 Principles and Applications of Solid State NMR: the School of Materials Science and Engineering hosts a lecture course focusing on solid state NMR taught by Visiting Professor John Hanna (assisted by Dr Thomas Hooper). This course is recommended to any potential users of the facility, as it provides a thorough theoretical background to solid state NMR, as well as hands-on tutorials in the facility on the acquisition, processing and analysis of NMR data.
• BS7005 Practical Course in Multidimensional NMR spectroscopy: the School of Biological Sciences hosts a lecture course focusing on multidimensional NMR taught by  Associate Professor Konstantin Pervushin.

Undergraduate Courses

• BS3025 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance in Structural Biology: the School of Biological Sciences hosts a lecture course taught by  Associate Professor Konstantin Pervushin.
