Welcome to the Sauer Structural Biology Laboratory!

The Sauer Structural Biology Laboratory is the state-of-the-art cryo-EM facility. The SSBL houses both an FEI Titan Krios equipped with a Gatan K2 Summit direct electron detector and an FEI Talos also equipped with a Gatan K2 Summit direct electron detector. Both of these instruments are capable of imaging macromolecular machines at atomic or near atomic resolution. The facility also contains all of the accessory equipment required for high-resolution structure determination. The facility is staffed by a Ph.D. level manager, who has many years of experience with electron microscopy.
