In April 2016, FEI (supplier of charged particle beam instruments, including electron microscopes) formed a partnership with five pharmaceutical companies (Astex Pharmaceuticals, AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline, Heptares Therapeutics, and UCB); the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (MRC-LMB); and the University of Cambridge’s Nanoscience Centre, to form the “Cambridge Pharmaceutical Cryo-EM Consortium” (press release).
As part of the three-year agreement, FEI will be providing access to a Titan Krios™ cryo-transmission electron microscope (cryo-TEM), recently installed at the Nanoscience Centre (University of Cambridge), to the consortium companies, research groups of University of Cambridge and MRC-LMB.
This website is setup to provide information about the instrument and to allow the research groups from the University of Cambridge to apply for the access.
