[3dem] Covid19 and cryo-EM

Sun Mar 22 04:30:58 PDT 2020

Dear Daniel,
It is not a naive question, it is a compelling one. If our facilities will be shut down for months, we should rather think of ways to make them useful to the research community combating COVID-19. Perhaps coordinating with virogists who have already access to recombinant viral proteins that may be imaged by Cryo-EM, could be a possibility.

Best regards,

Alfredo De Biasio

Dear All

I apologize for that naive question. I'm not an expert on viruses.

However, I would like to know if there's anything we can do for the researchers working on Covd19. This could be, for example, providing access to microscopes, imaging samples under safe conditions, analyzing images, sharing data, answering questions..

A negative answer will be also helpful, thus we could concentrate on others things

Best wishes

Daniel
