Uconn Health now houses an Electron Cryo (Cryo-EM) microscope. The advanced imaging system uses an electron beam for image of frozen organic samples. The images are then used to create a 3D model revealing the hidden structures of proteins, viruses and cells with clarity and unprecedented details.
In this science in second segment, Wolfgang Peti, PHD, professor of molecular biology and biophysics, shows us how cryo-EM works and how it can help accelerate the design of drugs and, ultimately, patient care.
