ON-SITE - Come in person and learn crystallography from our amazing staff scientists. We will help you solve your structure!
REMOTE DATA COLLECTION - Through your web browser, you can collect data remotely at NE-CAT. Only your samples need to travel.
The lab of Philip Kranzusch, Professor of Microbiology at Harvard Medical School and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, regularly uses beamtime at NE-CAT to examine the question of innate immunity.
NE-CAT is offering a two-day Data Collection and Processing Bootcamp at the Advanced Photon Source in Lemont, Illinois on April 8-9, 2026. Registration priority will be given to participants who have crystals or anticipate having crystals by the course date as the focus of the bootcamp will be on data collection and processing best practice. Participants must be registered users of the APS.
Work by the pharmaceutical company, Genentech, an associate member of NE-CAT, on therapeutic nanobodies was recently featured as a Science Highlight by the APS.
Work by one of our most frequent users, the Polikanov lab at the University of Illinois Chicago on antibiotics that inhibit the bacterial ribosome was featured by the APS as a Science Highlight.
NE-CAT is thrilled to welcome Dr. Graeme Winter as our new Associate Director. Coming from Diamond Light Source, where he served as a Principal Scientist and Team Leader, Graeme brings a wealth of experience in synchrotron X-ray sources, crystallographic software development, and automation. During his time at Diamond Light Source, Graeme led key initiatives to improve data processing workflows and enhance beamline efficiency. He holds a Master's in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge and a Ph.D.
Work by David Baker's lab on protein design which used NE-CAT for structural verification and was published in Science, is now featured on the Argonne National Laboratory website.
