5th RUSSIAN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CRYO-ELECTRON MICROSCOPY 2025
Organizers: Lomonosov Moscow State University, Interdisciplinary Scientific and Educational School of Moscow Lomonosov University «Molecular Technologies of the Living Systems and Synthetic Biology», Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology
The RICCEM conference series aim to inform the Russian and international scientific communities of the recent technological progress attained in structural biology and of the latest achievements in the field of cryo-electron microscopy. This event is the most significant communication platform in Russia since 2017 between internationally recognized experts and young researchers in the rapidly developing region of cryo-electron microscopy. Leading researchers from Russia and abroad will take part in this conference. Previous four RICCEM conferences have already made a significant impact on the advancement of cryo-EM in Russia and the implementation of many modern structural methods at MSU. Our aim is to establish a fruitful two-sided partnerships between researchers in Russia and abroad.
Recent advances in deciphering the near-atomic structure of macromolecules using cryo-electron microscopy and various aspects of sample preparation will be discussed.
We look forward to seeing you at MSU!
List of conference topics:
Structure of membrane proteins;
Structure and functions of large cell machinery;
Structure of viruses and phages;
Advances in EM technology, tomography and image processing;
Medical applications of cryo-EM and tomography.
