Spotlight on Dr. Melody Campbell, "Imaging Proteins to Understand Their Function". Dr. Campbell is an expert in using cryogenic electron microscopy, or cryo-EM, a microscopy technique that allows scientists study the structure of proteins without first crystallizing them.

Cryogenic electron microscopy represents a revolutionary improvement in our ability to see biological molecules. Since its early development in the 70s it has become an important tool for understanding life at the tiniest scales.
