Our scientific experience

At ATEM we work on transferring cryo-EM science from academia to industrial applications with high availability. Such an endeavor requires an extraordinary team; luckily, we covered that. Our growing ATEM team is filled with passionate people from diverse disciplines: cryo-EM, biochemistry, virology, IT, and machine learning.

We would like to highlight a few of our publications below.
