National Institute of Health Partners with FEI to crate Living Lab Structural Biology Centre
17 January 2012Structural biology techniques such as near-resolution microscopy technique is found useful in important medical discovering in many areas including cancer and AIDS and now a new lab has been created by NIH and FEI, which will provide more in-depth study in various inter-disciplines. The new facility called as “Living Lab structural Biology Centre” was formed by agreement between the NIH and a scientific company FEI.
The lab is located at NIH campus and it will indeed provide unique interdisciplinary collaboration and will harness the strength in multiple disciplines in the structural biology. The experts from various institutes such as FEI, National cancer Institute and other institutes will enhance their understanding on the key issues. The Centre will also create facilities and some of the state of the art equipment such as transmission electron microscope, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, cryo electron microscopy etc., will be made available in the centre.
National Institute of Health (NIH) is primarily engaged in the development of ways and means to protect public health by fostering the innovative research strategies and creating the research facilities and environment and this collaborative work will further help the mission of the institute. This collaborative jobs will involve the identification the role of molecular structures in the causes of various diseases such as AIDS, cancer etc., through the latest techniques and equipment, which will help in providing the proper development of treatment and medication for the deadly diseases.
