A bottleneck in structural biology by 3D single-particle cryo-EM is the
availability of specialists for processing the data from the point of
data collection (in a microscopy centre like www.NeCEN.nl) to the
interpretation of the final results. This processing requires access to
powerful parallel computers and to the appropriate software (like our
IMAGIC package). Most of all, however, it requires data processing
specialists with the time and drive to "monomanically" pursue a project
until completion over a period of say three or six months. With modern
international communication technology now becoming a routine ("Skype"),
integrating a specialist - somewhere in the world - into a short-term
project could be a real alternative. I am wondering whether PIs would be
interested in setting up such rapid-results "virtual collaboration" type
of projects.
