[3dem] Covid19 and cryo-EM

Mon Mar 23 06:47:19 PDT 2020

Dear David, Dear all,

Certainly, we should make clear that our infrastructures are open and ready
for the challange

Indeed, let me re.iterate something you already know. Instruct (the
European Research Infrastructure for Structural Biology) is offering its
Platforms in a priority manner for Covib19 projects

Please, look at the Instruct Catalogue at:

 Instruct’s technology catalogue
<http://email.mail.aria.services/c/eJw1jbEOgjAURb-GbpJSC4Whg4mixhiMi2F8PEqptiClDPy9LCZ3ODnJyW1l3gggRk63d00fL60n4csp6U6VpVdbrU6HR_s88rI_310xNmsdcWqGOfgFQ4Y-Ib2EpmAZ7QA5xZQBEyKFvO0STKjIGRTEyj6E7xztDxErt_37nfIGY7VsKnjAj_IbXQZXc0u8RAtLa8CqYbvUDoyNcXQ_IiM6PQ>

Unfortunately, the situation is such that none of these Platforms is
"operating as usual", but if you feel any of them may be of help in your
Covib19 research, please contact Instruct coordination at:

admin at instruct-eric.eu.

With best wishes... JM Carazo
