Research Focus

Automated Molecular Microscopy

The focus of our group is the development of automated imaging techniques for solving the three-dimensional structure of macromolecular complexes using cryoTEM. Our current goal is to develop new methods to improve the throughput of the entire process, from specimen preparation to the generation of the final three-dimensional map.
