The West/Midwest Consortium for High-Resolution Cryo Electron Microscopy is an NIH supported user group from 14 cryoEM laboratories at 8 participating institutions primarily in the Western and Midwestern United States (Table).
Most of them are funded in biomedical research projects. These projects address fundamental questions concerning cellular signaling, cytoskeletal networks, DNA replication, RNA editing, protein assembly and neurobiology, as well as practical problems concerning bioterrorism, bacterial and viral infectious diseases and human cancers.

Consortium users who are inactive for extended periods or no longer have need of high-resolution cryoEM would be dropped based on recommendation of the supervisory committee. In these scenarios, time would become available for adding new consortium users. In this regard, the contact MPI and staff will seek and advise potential users in how to become a consortium user and obtain appropriate specimens for high-resolution studies. This way we will ensure a steady flow of new users with new projects to maintain vibrancy of the consortium.
