<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana Pro",sans-serif">We are writing a short review on cryo-ET approaches to study virus-host interactions where we also discuss pathogen inactivation protocols for cryo-EM and access to cryo-EM
operating at high biosafety containment. There are certainly many sites where cryo-EM can be done at BSL2 but it is not so obvious how many and which academic institutions around the world can perform cryo-EM on BSL3 pathogens. As this information might be
useful to the cryo-EM community focusing on infectious diseases we would like to include it. Could you please let me know if you are able to perform cryo-EM at certified BSL3 (or even BSL4) and if we can list your facility in the review?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
