Enhancing Access and Collaboration

The Texas CryoEM Consortium (TCC) is a statewide cryo-Electron Microscopy (cryoEM) organization focused on resource sharing to mitigate the effects of prolonged microscope downtime while also providing increased access to a varied portfolio of cryoEM equipment. Additionally, the TCC promotes collaboration, collective grant initiatives, and more efficient dissemination of best practices in all aspects of cryoEM.
