2nd Scottish Cryo-EM Symposium, University of Glasgow, 11th November 2024
The Scottish Cryo-Electron Microscopy (Cryo-EM) Symposium was established in 2023 in Dundee, following the earlier iSCEM-DD (inclusive Scottish Cryo-EM in Drug Discovery) meeting in 2022. This network event brings together cryo-EM labs across Scotland, showcasing the cryo-EM work taking place in Scotland. This year the second Scottish Cryo-EM Symposium will be hosted in Glasgow.
This free, one-day meeting features talks from students, postdocs and facilities from across Scotland, together with a poster session, social event and the ever popular 'advice session' where you can seek guidance from our expert panel on your cryo-EM challenges.
The meeting will be held at the University of Glasgow's Advanced Research Centre.
