Diamond has currently a wide range of COVID-19 related projects underway ranging from the production of protein samples to supporting research on the basic components of the virus for the puropose of developing therapies.
Specialised facilities include fragment-based drug discovery (XChem) where small chemical fragments can be soaked into potential drug targets. A range of synchrotron and electron-based imaging techniques can be exploited to visualise the individual components and the life cycle of the virus over a wide range of length scales.
New video animations available
We have developed new scientific animated videos, demonstrating the work that has been done at Diamond's XChem facilities. Click here to explore the full series.
