Bringing Electron Microscopy Communities Together
On May 16, the IIMCB hosted a workshop titled Electron Microscopy Across Scales, organized by the IIMCB’s IN-MOL-CELL Infrastructure in collaboration with Thermo Fisher Scientific.
The one-day event connected researchers and industry experts to explore cutting-edge applications of cryo-EM, cryo-ET, and 3D volume imaging—showcasing their growing impact on structural and cellular biology.
Program Highlights
Keynote speaker Prof. Ohad Medalia (University of Zurich) presented cryo-EM and cryo-ET insights into the nuclear lamina. Dr. Mariusz Czarnocki-Cieciura (IIMCB) followed with three case studies in cryo-EM, offering a practical view into the complexities of structural biology.
Core facility teams from IIMCB, CeNT UW, and SOLARIS shared overviews of their cryo-EM platforms, emphasizing how shared infrastructure is expanding access to advanced imaging technologies across Poland.
Thermo Fisher Scientific delivered expert sessions on FIB-SEM volume imaging and cryo-lamella preparation workflows, bridging practical know-how with cutting-edge instrumentation.
Participants also toured IIMCB’s newly installed Glacios 2 Cryo-TEM and Hydra Bio Plasma-FIB, highlighting the advanced capabilities now available through the institute’s core facility.
