Our 2025 BioXFEL Summer Internship has wrapped! Interns from UB-HWI & across the U.S. explored structural biology, presented research, and built lasting skills. Huge thanks to our mentors, partners, and Dr. Letitia Thomas/SURP for supporting their journey!
Students in UB-HWI's Skill Set Building Through Structural Biology program went beyond the classroom with visits to the Buffalo Museum of Science and the Jacobs Institute — exploring science communication, biomedical tech, and careers that connect science to real-world impact.
UB-HWI’s Skill Set Building Through Structural Biology summer program for high school students is in full swing—and the participants have been experiencing a variety of activities! They’re gaining both scientific knowledge and confidence this summer!
This week, we welcomed students from the Eric Pitman Annual Summer Workshop in Computational Science to the University at Buffalo’s Hauptman-Woodward Research Institute! During their visit, they toured our Cryo-Electron Microscopy Center and the National Crystallization Center.

What holds your eye lens together? UCLA scientists along with now UB-HWI faculty found out! Using advanced microcrystal electron diffraction, they solved the structure of the abundant lens protein MP20. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
🧬Attention High School Students! 🔬
Are you curious about science and eager to explore the world of biomedical research? Join the University at Buffalo Hauptman-Woodward Research Institute "Skill Set Building Through Structural Biology" Summer Program!
Researchers from UCLA and UB-HWI have pushed the boundaries of electron crystallography, achieving sub-atomic resolution using energy-filtered #MicroED #CryoEM. This improves structural detail, advancing drug discovery and biomolecular research. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
UB-HWI’s was honored to participate in the Jacob’s Institute’s “STEM Goes Red” event and share information with high school students about UB-HWI’s research and “Skill Set Building Through Structural Biology” summer education program!
