Biography

Timothy Grant is an Assistant Professor and Investigator at the Morgridge Institute for Research. He focuses on studying the structural dynamics of biological macromolecules using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). His research involves developing methods for single-particle cryo-EM, a technique that allows for detailed visualization of atomic structures of biological molecules. By combining hundreds of thousands of images captured by electron microscopes, he aims to gain deeper insights into the functionality of proteins and design new drugs targeting them for therapeutic purposes. Grant is also involved in developing software for processing single-particle cryo-EM images, facilitating user-friendly workflows in this field.
