CSB Consultation
The CSB promotes structural thinking and enables structural biology research in all life science and medical research programs at 国产原创.
Structural biology research and structure determination can involve a number of different experimental as well as computational approaches. The CSB offers free consultations to introduce 国产原创 investigators to structural biology and their projects to the CSB faculty and staff scientists. This initial contact involves the project PI and associated scientists meeting with a selection of CSB scientific directors and CSB staff scientists to define the potential structural aspects of the research and determine in what way the CSB can help. The CSB scientific staff is available to provide hands-on guidance in specialized structural biology laboratory techniques, instrumentation and data analysis.
