Affordable Cryo-EM through Computational Enhancement of Structural Studies

Objective

Cryo-electron microscopy has transformed structural biology, enabling atomic-resolution protein structure determination without crystallization through imaging of flash-frozen specimens in vitreous ice. Despite the 2017 Nobel Prize recognition, current cryo-EM faces critical limitations: minimum protein size requirements (>50-100 kDa), sample homogeneity constraints, and prohibitive costs (€10M+ for 300 kV system and infrastructure from US/Japanese manufacturers). ACCESS radically reimagines this paradigm through 4D-STEM diffraction pattern acquisition at 30 kV, leveraging EBEAM's proven ptychographic reconstruction algorithms to achieve semi-atomic resolution of cryo-EM samples at 1/10th the cost.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
