[3dem] NIH-funded National Network for CryoET

[Flicker, Paula (NIH/NIGMS) [E]]

NIH funds four national centers as part of a Common Fund initiative to advance the application of cryo-electron tomography (cryoET). The National Network for CryoET will provide the biomedical research community access to advanced instrumentation for cryoET, cryoET specimen preparation, and collection of high-resolution cryoET data as well as cross-training in cryoET methods.

The National Network for CryoET will be established with four service centers including one service center that will also serve as the central network hub. The network hub center will be located at University of Wisconsin-Madison and led by Dr. Elizabeth Wright. The cryoET service centers will be located at the New York Structural Biology Center (Dr. Bridget Carragher, contact), SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory -Stanford University (Dr. Wah Chiu), and University of Colorado (Dr. Andreas Hoenger, contact). The service centers will specialize in cryoET specimen preparation. The network hub will perform cryoET data collection for all the user laboratories served by the whole network, in addition to its service center functions.
