Vision:
Build a community around Oxfordshire 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
