Using electrons instead of light in cryogenic electron microscopy. In this talk, Dr Dima Chirgadze from the Department of Biochemistry will discuss how scientists can use electrons to image and obtain three-dimensional pictures of biological molecules, such as proteins and DNA , that may help us to understand how our bodies work.

The talk will be followed by a Q&A session.
