Visual proteomics lets researchers see how proteins move in cells – but it can need huge amounts of money and expertise. A new Biohub grant will help @EM_STP, Ricardo Henriques and Imperial College London’s Paul French develop a more accessible version πŸ”¬πŸŒ πŸ”— ow.ly/4XCf50FcHku

#EtchACell outputs will be used in this exciting new Biohub grant, led by @EM_STP The Francis Crick Institute! Volunteer #CitizenScience annotations will help us make sense of the huge amounts of data that the project will produce. Read about the project in Lucy's thread below!
