Getting poster data...

Cryo-electron microscopy investigates proteins and macromolecules to near atomic scale, helping scientists gain greater insights into multiple diseases and their underlying mechanisms. Cryo-EM has become an important tool for pharmaceutical and biotechnology organizations as they strive to discover and develop new therapies. The widespread adoption of single particle analysis is immediately clear through the increasing number of cryo-EM structures found in the Protein Databank (PDB) and Electron Microscopy Databank (EMDB). These databases are a treasure trove for creating compelling visuals when paired with 3D software like Blender and plugins like Molecular Nodes (created by Brady Johnston). Zooming into side chains and creating cinematic animation can bring understanding and curiosity to things once unseen. As a designer, it is my goal to boost this amazing data solved by cryo-transmission electron microscopes and their incredible scientists.
