Electron microscopy technology offered at SciLifeLab gets awarded the Nobel Prize

On October 4, it was revealed that the 2017 Nobel Prize in Chemistry is awarded Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson for their development of cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) for the high-resolution structure determination of biomolecules in solution. Cryo-EM technology services is offered at SciLifeLab in Stockholm and Umeå as part of the national infrastructure resource.

SciLifeLab Fellow (Stockholm University/SciLifeLab) Alexey Amunts and his research group further explores the frontiers of the cryo-EM methodology to visualize macromolecules that play key roles in fundamental and medically relevant cellular processes.
