- implement or develop novel methods in cryo-EM (e.g. automation of 
sample handling) in collaboration with local engineers
- co-organise practical training in cryo-EM for internal and external users.
- contribute expertise to in house structural biology research projects 
in collaboration with EMBL Grenoble group leaders.
- liase with the electron microscopists at EMBL Heidelberg and Hamburg.
