Workshop 1:
Cryo-EM Sample Preparation, Screening, Data Collection and Analysis (In-person)

About LBMS

The mission of the Laboratory for BioMolecular Structure (LBMS) is to accelerate our fundamental understanding about the building blocks of all living organisms and their function. By gaining the fundamental knowledge, LBMS aims to foster faster developments in biotechnology and medicine to meet the Nation's needs in biofuels and healthcare. LBMS fulfills its mission by offering expertise and access to highly advanced cryo-electron microscopic capabilities to the greater research community.

Purpose of Workshop

This workshop is aimed to grow the cryo-EM community by providing hands-on experience to help researchers get started and improve their skills, including those working on DOE-mission–related projects. This cycle's workshop will focus on practical aspects of single particle cryo-EM including negative staining and cryo-sample preparation, screening, data collection and analysis using LBMS sample preparation room, electron microscopes and GPU workstations.

To ensure high-quality interactions and hands-on experience, the workshop is limited to 16 participants, selected based on the strength of their application materials.
