Research Hotel

What is the CSSB Research Hotel?

Empowering the next generation of scientists is an integral element of the CSSB’s mission. To help young researchers who are looking to make the transition from post doc to independent principle investigator, CSSB has established a Research Hotel. This means that approximately 20% of the CSSB building has been reserved to host up to six external research groups. The CSSB Research Hotel is open to all applicants, regardless of whether they belong to a CSSB’s partner institute or another national or international research institute.

As a researcher focused on developing new technology in the field of correlative cryo-microscopy, it is hard to imagine a better place for starting my own group. The state-of-the-art cryo-EM equipment, world-class expertise and highly interdisciplinary environment at CSSB are invaluable at this stage of my career.
