Recent advances in cryo-EM technology have made it possible for scientists to obtain images and structures of proteins and macromolecular complexes in greater detail than ever before. This has created a surge in demand for cryo-EM experiments that has far outstripped the supply of instruments and cryo-EM trained workforce.
As demand for cryo-EM in biomedical research continues to grow, so too, does the demand for cryo-EM education and training. The Frederick National Laboratory is uniquely positioned to help address this need due to long-standing expertise in the cryo-EM domain with experienced and trained personnel as well as access to advanced instrumentation.
Workshop
The Frederick National Laboratory hosted scientists seeking to learn more about cryo-electron microscopy and who anticipated using the technique in future research for the inaugural National Cryo-EM Facility Cryo-EM Training Program in Sept. 2022 in Frederick, Maryland.
Scientists gained experience in:
- grid preparation
- screening and data collection
- data processing
- model building and validation
All scientists at institutions with early-stage cryo-EM programs or plans to create one were encouraged to apply.
