Understanding biological events at the molecular level requires visualization in a native context. Advancing the detailed imaging of these processes in situ necessitates the integration of several methodologies that are still under development, including cryoET, cryo-volume EM, high-resolution fluorescence microscopy, multi-scale omics and the interpretation of results with computational approaches. While promising to provide unprecedented insights into cellular functions, this integration is challenging.
The newly established Center of Excellence for Structural Cell Biology at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is dedicated to advanced structural cell biology investigations, and this symposium is focused on facilitating conversations in this space.
Speakers represent multiple viewpoints and areas of expertise from institutions around the world.
Please join us in person in Memphis or virtually on April 7-8.
