October 18, 2021 -- Charles River Laboratories International has inked a partnership with ATEM Structural Discovery to provide its clients with ATEM's cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) service.
Cryo-EM is a technique that identifies the 3D structures of proteins; it can be used to determine how proteins function, how they malfunction in disease, and how best to target them with treatment therapies.
The two firms hope that combining cryo-EM with Charles River Laboratories' client support will speed drug discovery efforts, according to Charles River Laboratories.
