MISSION

The NIGMS East Coast structural biology facility at National Synchrotron Light Source has been established to provide first-class resources to a growing community of life scientists to explore all aspects of structural biology. Our goal is to offer rapid access to beam time and high sample throughput.

  • Beam line access to a structural biology community at large.
  • Fast access to beam time for the user community.
  • Crystal screening and high-throughput data collection.
  • Assistance and training for academic and professional users..
