Cryo-EM Symposium | Vienna BioCenter | cryo-Electron Miscroscopy Conference

We're delighted to announce the 7th Annual Austrian Cryo-EM (ACE) Symposium, collaboratively organized by the Vienna Biocenter and the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA).

This year's symposium aims to explore and celebrate the latest advancements in Cryo-EM research and its impact on biological studies. Our line-up includes international experts, insightful sessions and an interactive poster session.

Join us as we delve into the future of Cryo-EM, fostering collaboration and inspiring new ideas. We look forward to welcoming you at this year's Austrian Cryo-EM Symposium.

The Symposium is taking place on November 12-13, 2024 at the IMP in Vienna. The event will be held in person.
