We are developing a disruptive freeze-and-deposit sample preparation for cryo-electron microscopy. We are currently validating the technology concept in collaboration with scientific partners from the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) at the Center for Structural Systems Biology (CSSB), located on the DESY campus, and industry. The goal is to accelerate the transfer of this innovative and promising technique to a practical use-case ind structural-biology applications.
