◈ Flagship program

Train the Trainer: Cryo-EM/Cryo-ET

An intensive program for principal investigators and lab heads covering the full cryo-EM and cryo-ET pipeline—from grid preparation and data collection through processing to final maps and models—so participants can build durable training capacity at their own institutions.

R25 Program

Program overview

R25 Structural Biology Training Program

Our R25 program, run by Dr. Davis and colleagues, provides structured, mentored research training for the next generation of structural biologists—pairing coursework in structural methods with hands-on bench and computational experience across the lab's active projects.

ChimeraX & Data Processing Training

Computational training

ChimeraX & Data Processing Training

Reproducible, well-documented pipelines carry trainees from raw data to publication-ready models—covering model building, visualization, and figure generation in ChimeraX alongside the processing steps that turn micrographs into maps.
