Stanford-SLAC CryoEM Center (S2C2)
The Stanford-SLAC Cryo-EM Center (S2C2) provides access to state-of-the-art cryo-EM instruments for data collection towards atomic resolution structure determination of biochemically purified single particles and enables scientists across the nation to become independent cryo-EM investigators. The S2C2 is supported by the National Institutes of Health Common Fund Transformative High Resolution Cryo-Electron Microscopy program.
Project applications for S2C2 are due on the first day of each month and are generally reviewed within the same month. See User Access for more information.
Stanford-SLAC CryoET Specimen Preparation Center (SCSC)
SCSC is one of the four service centers of a National Network for CryoElectron Tomography, coordinated by a central network hub. The service centers will specialize in cryoET specimen preparation. The hub will perform cryoET data collection for all user laboratories served by the network, in addition to its service center functions. The SCSC is supported by the National Institutes of Health Common Fund Microscopy Program.
Chiu Lab at Stanford
Research in the Chiu lab includes methodology improvements in single particle cryo-EM for atomic resolution structure determination of molecules and molecular machines, as well as in cryo-ET of cells and organelles towards subnanometer resolutions.
We collaborate with many researchers in and outside of the Stanford community on understanding biological processes such as protein folding, ion transports, RNA folds, virus assembly and disassembly, pathogen-host interactions, and neurodegenerations.
