Master Module: 3D Cryo Electron Microscopy
Are you a student of Biochemistry, Biology, or Chemistry looking to dive into the cutting-edge world of structural biology? Join our Cryo-Electron Microscopy (Cryo-EM) Master Module, where you'll gain hands-on experience with one of the most powerful tools in modern science. Our module is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to explore biological structures at an atomic level.
Take the chance to sneak into our small group of Cryo-EM specialists, we are eager to share our knowledge and experiences with you.
What You’ll Learn
Our module covers four key topics:
Sample Preparation
Learn how to prepare high-quality biological samples for Cryo-EM imaging. Get to know the two major techniques: negative staining and vitrification of purified proteins.
Data Acquisition
Get hands-on experience with state-of-the-art EM instruments. See real images of single proteins. Discuss with us what are the best data acquisition strategies, acquire high-resolution data, and gain your first experience in working with advanced structural biology technologies.
Image Processing
Dive into computational methods for Cryo-EM data analysis. From particle picking to 3D reconstruction, you'll gain understanding of the principles behind the software and reconstruct 3D protein structures from 2D images.
Structure Interpretation
Learn how to interpret Cryo-EM maps to uncover the secrets of molecular mechanisms. Develop the skills to visualize and analyze atomic structures, enabling you to connect structural data to biological function.
Don’t miss this opportunity to advance your knowledge and skills in one of the most exciting areas of modern science and join our master module.
