Wellcome Trust call for Cryo-EM Equipment announced

21-Jul-2016

This week the Wellcome Trust have announced a special call for bids for "Cryo-Electron Microscopy Equipment". It is exciting to see that the funders recognise the ongoing revolution in structural biology and are responding in a creative way. In this case the response is to a town meeting organised last summer by the UK Structural Biology Forum (Instruct-UK) which led to the production of a manifesto for the enhancement of Cryo-EM facilities within the UK

The UK Structural biology Forum is the community voice for working structural biologists in the UK. On July 6th 2015, the Forum hosted a meeting at the Wellcome Trust London to discuss new developments in the rapidly developing fields of electron microscopy and imaging.
