A symposium to highlight the current and future potential of electron microscopy in the high-resolution 3D study of cells, tissues and in situ macromolecules.

We will showcase ongoing research at King’s in the use of cryo-EM for macromolecule structure determination and the wider use of EM in revealing the organisation and molecular details of subcellular compartments and nanoscale structures critical to the function and organisation of cells and tissues. Technical presentations will discuss advanced and emerging sample preparation, data acquisition and image processing techniques in electron microscopy of cellular and tissue components, including their optimal use in the development of research projects.

This event is free for all King’s students and staff.
