The Dubochet Center for Imaging (DCI) is a joint initiative of the EPFL, the University of Lausanne, the University of Geneva, and the University of Bern. The DCI is composed of three units: The DCI-Lausanne is located at the border between the EPFL and the University of Lausanne; the DCI-Geneva is located in the Science II building of the University of Geneva; and the Microscopy Imaging Center is the DCI Bern of the University of Bern.
These units form the DCI, a service platform for cryo-electron microscopy. The DCI operates several high-end cryo-EM instruments to study biological molecules, viruses, bacterial, micro-crystals, small organelles, or sections of biological cells or tissue. The DCI has the expertise and is equipped to perform the entire structural analysis pipeline, covering the preparation of the samples, image and tomography data collection with electron microscopes, micro-electron diffraction (micro-ED), computer image processing, and atomic model building.
The DCI partners with the EMF cryo-EM facility of the University of Lausanne and the BioEM and CIME electron microscopy facilities of the EPFL.
