Cryo-EM

Cryo-EM allows scientists to make detailed 3D images of DNA, RNA, proteins, viruses, cells and the tiny molecular machines within the cell, revealing how they change shape and interact in complex ways while carrying out life’s functions.

Press Release

The new facility provides revolutionary tools for exploring tiny biological machines, from viral particles to the interior of the cell.
