Exploring the Complexity of Life by Cryo-Electronmicroscopy
NEWS
Major technical advances has enabled cryo-EM to become a mainstream technique in visualization of macromolecules, which provides the most definitive way to describe their mechanisms of action.The first international cryo-EM symposium in Sweden will take place in Stockholm and Umeå, and present the developments that are shaping this scientific breakthrough. Topics covered include central discoveries in cryo-EM, the most recent methodological developments and applications to central biological questions.Everybody is welcome!
Note: The first day of the Symposium takes place on 8th of May 2017 at SciLifeLab, Stockholm. Programme at SciLifeLab Everybody is welcome!
