Network launch event: Interfaces in Cryo-EM (ICE)
 
Hosted by: Rosalind Franklin Institute / University of Oxford / Oxford BRC / Diamond
 
3 July 2019
9:30 to 17:00 - Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Research Complex at Harwell

Vision:  

• Build a community of academic researchers interested in Cryo-EM and members of related Industry sectors (pharmaceutical, biotechnology, instrument), to foster pre-competitive knowledge sharing, collaborations, and to promote investment in cryo-EM infrastructure and future applications
• Create a regular forum for discussion, with focus on new developments and technology
• Promote discussion workshops for networking and relationship building

Themes of the forum:

• Application of cryo-EM to life sciences and drug discovery
• Evolution of electron microscopy
• Single particle cryo-EM: protein science, cofactors (e.g. nanodiscs and nanobodies), grid prep, data analysis
