Viktoras Ragožius, a MSc student of molecular biology at the VU Life Sciences Center, won the prize for the best poster presentation on topic 'Structural studies of type I CRIPR-Cas adaptation complex interaction with prespacers' in the workshop 'Cryo-EM in academia and industry' in Heidelberg, Germany (supervisor Dr. Lina Malinauskaitė, consultant Dr. Inga Songailienė).
Showcasing high-quality research in academia and industry relevant and exemplary for both cryo-EM communities, the meeting provided updates on recent and ongoing methodological developments. A particular focus was on the integration of cryo-ET and cryo-EM with complementary imaging techniques, e.g. imaging across scales as well as other ‘omics’ technologies such as proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics. The integration of cryo-EM in the drug-discovery workflow was also to be examined.
This event was a part of the iNEXT-Discovery activities, and is co-organised with the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI). iNext Discovery is structural biology project funded from the European Commission Horizon 2020 scheme. Its main aim is to provide access to structural biology research infrastructures for all European researchers.
