Research Supported by the RPAIEMC

The laboratory of Yonggang Ke at Georgia Tech just published their research on Iron Oxide Nanoparticle assembly using DNA origami. Follow the link to read their exciting results and look at some of their images collected at Emory's RPAIEMC: Programmable Assembly of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Using DNA Origami

The structure of the respiratory syncytial virus RNA polymerase has been solved by the Liang group at Emory using single particle cryo-EM, with data collected with the Talos Arctica in our EM core:
Cryo-EM structure of the respiratory syncytial virus RNA polymerase

Research from the Schinazi group on Hepatitis B virus now published on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, with TEM data acquired at the RPAIEMC:
Novel Hepatitis B Virus Capsid Assembly Modulator Induces Potent Antiviral Responses in Vitro and in Humanized Mice

Results from a collaborative work between Emory University, UC Irvine, and Florida State University on factors that stimulate senescence are now available in Autophagy. TEM data was acquired at the RPAIEMC:
SQSTM1/p62 and PPARGC1A/PGC-1alpha at the interface of autophagy and vascular senescence

 

Electron Microscopy Events

Cryo-Electron Tomography virtual course

Hosted by the University of Leeds ABSL, eBIC Diamond Light Source, and the University of Leicester, this four-day course is targeted at those with no or minimal experience in cryo-electron tomography. It will introduce participants to sample preparation, tilt-series acquisition, and image analysis pipelines. Participants will work in small groups with instructors to gain hands-on TEM (Titan Krios) experience and learn how to independently use software packages (IMOD, AreTomo, EMAN2, and RELION) for tomogram reconstruction, tomogram segmentation, particle picking, and sub-tomogram averaging.
