Structural Biotechnology Laboratory: The Game of ICE
Welcome to the "SBTL Laboratory (The Game of Ice)", where ICE stands for "Cryo" and GAME refers to our diverse research projects employing Cryo-Electron Microscopy. We focus on studying protein complexes pivotal to pathogenesis and a variety of diseases. Our mission centers around unraveling the complexities of membrane protein assemblies and the macromolecular machinations that drive diverse diseases.
Our team is committed to advancing knowledge of these protein complexes by leveraging high-resolution Cryo-Electron Microscopy imaging technology. This cutting-edge method enables us to delve into intricate details of the structure of these complexes, providing unprecedented visualizations and analyses.
Beyond structural investigations, we actively engage in correlative microscopy studies. This approach allows us to uncover the intricate relationships between the structure and function of these macromolecular assemblies. Our overarching goal is to deepen our understanding of how these structures collaboratively function to ensure the survival of bacteria.
The results of our research efforts transcend mere academic curiosity. They play a pivotal role in shaping the development of innovative strategies to prevent and manage infectious diseases. Our team, by harnessing the most recent advancements in Cryo-EM imaging and analysis technology, is at the vanguard of research in the arena of membrane protein complexes and the macromolecular machinery of infectious bacteria.
Our research outcomes are poised to offer significant insights that will guide future research and enrich the collective advancement of the scientific community. Here at the "Game of Ice" Laboratory, we are not just observing the field; we are shaping it.
