Abstract: An advanced
high-containment cryo-electron microscopy center has been
established at the University of Texas Medical Branch. The Center
is a unique research and training facility dedicated to studying
host-pathogen interactions, replication, pathogenesis, and high-
resolution structure of NIH Category A-C bio-agents and emerging
infectious pathogens. This new facility, the first U.S. laboratory
of its kind, includes state-of-the- art 200 keV cryo-electron
microscopes in a bio-safety level 3 containment environment to
study viruses and other pathogenic microorganisms. Remote
capabilities will allow microbiologists worldwide to directly
access this facility and its instrumentation. This facility will
provide unique research opportunities to study highly pathogenic
viral and bacterial diseases and to train young microbiologists
for productive careers developing new vaccines and antimicrobial
therapies to combat emerging and reemerging infectious diseases.
