Overview

Dear All,

          The event titled “Illuminating viral protein architecture with cryo-electron microscopy” aims to introduce students and faculty to the revolutionary role of cryo-electron microscopy in revealing viral protein structures at near-atomic resolution. The session will connect structural biology with virology, vaccine design, and antiviral drug discovery, highlighting real research case studies and emerging applications for interdisciplinary life-science research involving Cryo-EM. The guest lecture will be followed by detail interaction session with speaker, where students and scholars can interact and discuss about the scope of Cryo-EM in various research  areas. In addition students and PhD scholars may interact with the speakrer for higher studies abroad with research grants( Europe and USA).

Objectives of Event

  To introduce the fundamental principles of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) in structural biology

  To highlight applications of cryo-EM in vaccine and antiviral drug development

  To expose students to real-world case studies in structural virology

  To promote interdisciplinary research integration across Life Sciences, Biotechnology, and Medical sciences

  To inspire UG, PG, and PhD scholars toward advanced research in structural biology
