Cryo-em core facility at CeNT UW after 5 years: major achievements and future prospects

Date: 15th November 2024, Friday

Time: 12:00 pm (Central European Time)

Host: Professor Bartosz Trzaskowski

The seminar will be in the CeNT aula hall (00.142) on the main floor.

Abstract:

In 2019 one of the very first cryo-EM microscopes in the country – the 200kV Glacios equipped with a Falcon3EC camera and a phase plate solution was installed in the University of Warsaw. In the next few years the Cryomicroscopy and Electron Diffraction Core Facility was established and started providing many local structural biologists and chemists with direct access to this ground-breaking and Noble-winning technology. To date, there have been only two cryo-EM Core Facilities operating in Poland which provide services with all cryo-EM modalities.

This seminar aims to summarise our activities over the last 5 years highlighting our major achievements based on publications that include results obtained on the Glacios microscope. We also discuss our current services and prospects for the future given the 1M PLN-worth SPUB grant that we just got awarded from the Ministry of Science.
