Researchers have discovered a strategy to neutralize two highly lethal viruses for which there is currently no approved vaccine or cure.

This optical super-resolution microscope patented by UBC allowed researchers to observe virus-like particles at higher resolutions than they could have just five years ago. Photo: Lou ...

CryoEM: Highly magnified images (30,000- 50,000X) of frozen-hydrated viruses are obtained in a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The cryoEM technique requires that a very thin sample of purified ...

Electron microscopes have existed since the 1930s, and they’ve played a vital role in revealing the structure of proteins and viruses and how they work.

Deadly diseases will go under the microscope at Western University's new $16 million dollar research lab, where scientists will aim to better understand them and develop life-saving vaccines.
