Earlier this month, PUXANO attended the Cambridge CryoEM Consortium Biannual Meeting in Cambridge, UK, organized by Thermo Fisher Scientific. The meeting brings together leading cryoEM experts from academia and industry, including representatives from GSK, AstraZeneca, Nxera, UCB Pharma, Astex, the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB), and the University of Cambridge.

PUXANO was invited to present its recent developments in sample support technologies, with a particular focus on our Tilted Graphene Grids. The invitation reflected growing interest in new approaches for tackling challenging cryoEM samples and improving data collection outcomes.

During the meeting, our CEO, Wouter Van Putte, shared the latest results from our work on graphene-coated and tilted grids. These technologies are designed to help overcome common challenges in cryoEM sample preparation and data acquisition, making them particularly relevant for difficult biological specimens.

The event provided an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas with researchers and industry scientists working at the forefront of structural biology. Beyond presenting our own work, we greatly appreciated the high-quality talks covering the latest advances in cryoEM technologies, methodologies, and workflows.

Meetings like the Cambridge CryoEM Consortium are valuable opportunities to gather feedback from experienced users, discuss emerging challenges in the field, and explore future collaborations. We are grateful to the organizers, and in particular Pablo Castro Hartmann, for the invitation and for hosting such a well-structured and insightful event.

We look forward to continuing these discussions and further advancing cryoEM sample support technologies for the structural biology community.
