Outline

In this research, we will exchange researchers between Tohoku University and Mahidol University who can provide guidance on cryo-EM. Cryo-EM is a method for analyzing the three-dimensional structure of biomolecules such as proteins, and is essential for life science research in recent years. The importance of this technology has also been recognized in Thailand, and the first cryo-electron microscope was introduced at Mahidol University last year. In this research, we aim to provide technology of cryo-EM by providing on-the-job training for young researchers at Mahidol University in collaboration with the Tohoku University. At the same time, we will strengthen the collaborative system by developing the infrastructure for joint research.
