iNEXT: a European facility network to stimulate translational structural biology

iNEXT, 'Infrastructure for NMR, EM and X-rays for Translational research', is a EC-funded Horizon 2020 network of national infrastructures aiming to facilitate EC- supported, trans-national user access to several high-end structural biology infrastructures and to expand the use of structural biology technologies towards new research communities. iNEXT has developed different access routes offering cutting edge technologies and expertise, thus targeting the diverse needs of research groups that desire to perform X-ray crystallography, small-angle X-ray scattering, solution or solid-state NMR, single particle or cell tomography electron microscopy, biophysics, and imaging experiments. Specific Joint Research Activities aim at improving the user experience in ever advancing methods, and are focused on structure-based drug discovery, membrane protein characterization and structural cell biology initiatives.
