DESCRIPTION:Prof. Nouria Hernandez - Rector UNIL\nProf. Martin Vetterli - 
 President EPFL\nProf. Jan Hesthaven – Dean\, School of Basic Sciences \
 nProf. Nicolas Fasel – Vice-Dean\, Faculty of Biology and Medicine \nCr
 yo-Electron Microscopy investigations of ABC transporter membrane proteins
  and a structural characterization of neurodegeneration. A roadmap for fur
 ther developments of an already revolutionary technology.\n\nSummary\nCryo
 -electron microscopy has revolutionized structural biology. Proteins can b
 e studied in near-native conditions at atomic resolution by cryo-EM\, and 
 the cellular context is revealed by cryo-electron tomography. In this pres
 entation\, the structure of ABC transporter membrane proteins is discussed
 \, and the fibril polymorphism of alpha-synuclein and its involvement in P
 arkinson’s disease is analyzed. Method development to boost resolution\,
  contrast (towards smaller particle sizes) and speed of cryo-EM will be pr
 esented.  \n\nBiography\nHenning Stahlberg studied Physics at the TU Berl
 in and obtained his PhD in Structural Biology at the EPFL in 1997 with Hor
 st Vogel and Jacques Dubochet. After a Habilitation at the Biozentrum\, Un
 i Basel with Andreas Engel in 2002\, he was PATT and Associate Professor i
 n Molecular and Cell Biology at UC Davis\, USA. In 2009 Stahlberg became P
 rofessor and director of the Center for Cellular Imaging and NanoAnalytics
  at the University of Basel. \nSince 2020\, he is a Professor for Physics
  at EPFL and UNIL\, where he will establish the Dubochet Center for Imagin
 g. \n\nInfo\nDue to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic\, the inaugural lecture
  will be held online.
