Advanced Light Sources (AdLSs) have been recognized as important large-scale facilities that provide a natural place for international scientific collaboration, capacity building, and networking. The exceptionally intense light produced at these facilities allows scientists to carry out studies of the structure of proteins, of new pharmaceutical compounds, study archaeological objects, design...
The study of the structure of biological entities ranging from macromolecules to cells, which underpins most of biophysics, is called Integrated Structural Biology. The field continues to play a key role, not only in biological discovery but also in innovation and technology. Work in the field requires equipment that is specialized and highly developed. The operation and maintenance of such...
