Cellular structural biology
High-resolution molecular and cellular imaging is revolutionising our understanding of life's building blocks.
With new technologies giving increasingly detailed, high-resolution, structural information into molecules and cellular systems, which is central to the fundamental understanding of cellular and organelle functions, there has never been a better time to study cellular structural biology.
The Croucher Advanced Study Institute on "Cellular structural biology” aims to provide up-to-date training in this fast-developing field for academics and researchers. This will be achieved through a blend of lectures by global experts, hands-on workshops, and interactive discussions. The course will leverage cutting-edge technologies such as cryo-focused ion beam (Cryo-FIB) milling, cryo-electron tomography (Cryo-ET), and correlative light-electron microscopy (Cryo-CLEM).
The ASI is structured to foster local, national, and international collaboration in high-resolution cellular imaging in situ, promoting excellence in research within Hong Kong.
