Cryo-EM expert Elizabeth Wright joining biochemistry to direct new facility
The biochemistry department will welcome Elizabeth Wright in July 2018 as a faculty member and director of the department’s newly established cryo-electron microscopy facility.
Biochemistry’s state-of-the-art imaging facilities benefit campus researchers and students
Imaging is a powerful tool in many biochemists’ repertoire. The Department of Biochemistry is home to a large collection of equipment and facilities, including the Biochemistry Optical Core (BOC) and upcoming cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) facility, that allows scientists to pursue their many imaging endeavors.
Cryo-EM facility coming to department to serve campus researchers
Structural biology and collaboration are two strong and enduring aspects of research at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. In keeping with this tradition, the Department of Biochemistry has led a concerted cross-campus effort to bring cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to campus.
