This session aims to explore the development opportunities and future trends of biological cryo-EM. The methodological developments in cryo-EM-based single particle three-dimensional reconstruction technologies and electron tomography, as well as applications of related technologies in larger scales, higher resolutions, and more diverse biological scenarios will be discussed at the session.
