Laboratory for biomolecular structure (LBMS): a DOE-funded national cryo-EM center

To advance our understanding of biological processes and complexity, cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) is becoming a preferred method for studying structures of biological macromolecules and high-order machinery. However, for many institutions and research groups, acquiring and operating a state-of-the-art cryo-EM facility remain cost prohibitive. With the joint support from the New York State and the Department of Energy (DOE), the Laboratory for BioMolecular Structure (LBMS) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, a national cryo-EM center, provides cutting-edge instruments and operations for imaging biological structures and processes.
