Electron Microscopy in Virus Structural Biology and Vaccine Development

NIS Mountain Hero

Electron microscopy and related technologies have been used to overcome several challenges associated with vaccine design and vaccine development and the study of viral structures.

One prominent example is how cryoEM was used to conduct semi-automated particle size analysis to characterize the size distribution of Human Papillomavirus-like particles in vivo – in order to help monitor the lot-to-lot consistency of the HPV vaccine Gardasil.

Hosted by Anette Schneemann, NIS Chief Scientific Officer, our free on-demand webinar will uncover the full analytical toolbox of electron microscopy for viral research and vaccine R&D, including:
