How do you turn cryo-EM data into a 3D structure?

A recent workshop by our Cryo-EM Facility answered this question by demonstrating the full workflow from raw data to a 3D map using CryoSPARC.

Thanks to Stefan Steimle (Cryo-EM Facility) and Florian Schneider (SFB 1381) for hosting!

Last week, our early career researchers gathered in Heidelberg for their annual retreat!

The agenda included inspiring lectures, flash talks, plenty of discussions and a visit to the Christmas market.

Overall, the retreat strengthened the scientific and social connections within the SFB 1381!

Because computational structure prediction plays a key role in our SFB’s work, it was fantastic to have our early career researchers join the workshop “Practical Approaches to Protein Structure Prediction: AlphaFold and More.”

A big thank-you to Florian Schneider (project A04) for hosting!
