In long feature format, Science Magazine profiles structural biology scientists at the LMB, including Chris Russo and Nobel Prize winner Richard Henderson, and their work on bringing cryo-EM to hundreds of more labs. At present, top-of-the-line cryo-EM machines cost almost $7 million. But with these scientists’ vision, persistence and focussed research, cryo-EM might just become the way we look into the molecular world. More…
Science Magazine dives into the science behind affordable cryo-EM
Slashing energy could make Nobel prize-winning cryo-EM microscopes more affordable
Proof-of-principle research led by Chris Russo showing that cryo-EM could be made 10 times cheaper is highlighted by the MRC. “Our goal is to make cryo-EM available to any laboratory that needs it” said Chris. More…
