Computational Advances in Structural Biology

Marta Carroni is the Head of the Swedish National Cryo-EM Facility at SciLifeLab in Stockholm, whose start and development she drove since its institution in 2016. She is a trained structural biologist and more specifically an expert in cryo electron microscopy (cryo-EM), technique on which she received extensive training since 2007 first at Imperial College London and then at Birkbeck College London. Marta Carroni has initiated and trained in electron microscopy and image processing a large number of researchers in Sweden and for this contribution she has been named one of the female innovators by the Italian Association of Women Inventors and Innovators in 2018 and awarded the Hugo Theorell price  by the Swedish Chemical Society in 2023. Since 2020 she is also the director of the Cellular and Molecular Imaging platform at SciLifeLab. She continues to run research projects with her own research group, mainly looking at AAA+ molecular motors and their regulatory mechanisms.
