Cryo-Electron Microscopy Service Platform

On 7th February 2020, past and future users of the EMBL Cryo-EM Platform will have an opportunity to meet, discuss and start new scientific collaborations.

This Symposium will attempt to stimulate the exchange of experience among cryo-EM users and developers, and to strengthen the cryo-EM community.  The symposium will include sessions on applications of single particle analysis as well as a session on cryo-EM grid developments, presented by eleven invited speakers. 

Besides invited speakers, all participants are welcome to present their research during the poster session. Also a tour of the EMBL Cryo-EM Platform will be provided. The meeting will be rounded out with a discussion and feedback from future users, followed by a social event.
