“Broadly defined” Crystallography Thrives to Support Structural Life Science Research

Abstract

Future of structural life science will continue to rely on crystallography using X-ray and electron beams. Multi-modal, multi spatio-temporal scale imaging will be the key to understanding complex biological phenomena at both fundamental biology and translational biomedical or industrial applications. This transformation is influencing the way structural and functional studies are carried out around the globe, and large insfrastructure facilities and institutions are developing new modus operandi to enable biology and medical communities accessing vast and diverse range of technologies, including X-ray, electron, photon, and neutron sources, and AI/ML.
