Abstract

Recent breakthroughs in the field of cryo-electron microcopy provide new prospects for determination of the structures of a variety of macromolecular assemblies and small dynamic protein complexes that are not amenable to analysis by X-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy. In addition, advances in technologies for imaging whole cells and tissues in 3D at high resolution have opened up new vistas for 3D structural imaging. I will review emerging opportunities in molecular and cellular imaging that are enabled with these developments, and discuss applications to cancer research in the coming decade.
