Principal Investigator

James Evans

PNNL will create and operate the Pacific Northwest Center for Cryo-EM (PNCC), a state-of-the-art national center for cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) that will rapidly and efficiently collect and…

Joining Systems Biology and Bioimaging on Same Cells

Lead Institution

Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory

Principal Investigator

James Evans

We plan to develop a new capability at EMSL for coupling bioimaging and systems biology analysis of the same exact cells. The use of the highly simplified and smallest free-living eukaryote…

Opportunities linking omics and structural biology at PNNL: Excelling at Cryo-EM

Lead Institution

Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory

Principal Investigator

James Evans

We were recently funded jointly by EMSL and DOE/BER to purchase, install and operate a new Krios G3i cryo-TEM at EMSL. By funding the system jointly, the new microscope would become available to EMSL…
