Post-Doctoral Fellows
- Johanne Le Coq
The main goal of the Electron Microscopy (EM) Unit is to provide scientific-technical support to CNIO researchers to solve their biological questions using various EM transmission techniques. We routinely use negative staining and cryo-EM, and we also help in image processing by performing 2D analysis and 3D reconstruction. We also offer support for selecting adequate EM techniques and performing sample preparation. Moreover, we provide the necessary training on the use of our microscopes and auxiliary equipment. More advanced studies are typically delivered through research collaboration.
