Network launch event: Interfaces in Cryo-EM (ICE)

Hosted by: Rosalind Franklin Institute / University of Oxford / Oxford BRC / Diamond

3 July 2019
9:30 to 17:00 – Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Research Complex at Harwell

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
