Instruct Image Processing Center

The Instruct Image Processing Center (I2PC) is part of Instruct-ES, the Spanish Instruct Centre currently at the Spanish National Centre for Biotechnology (CNB-CSIC). Funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation (MICIU) and CSIC, I2PC offers advanced services in image processing to support the structural biology community, aligning with Spain’s participation in Instruct-ERIC, the European Strategic Infrastructure Project in Integrative Structural Biology.

Services and Access

I2PC provides expert access to cutting-edge methodologies for image processing, supporting the extraction of biological insights from cryoEM data. Researchers from Instruct-ERIC member countries can access I2PC services, through an international review process coordinated by Instruct-ERIC.

Instruct-ES also facilitates Spanish researchers’ access to any Instruct-ERIC services through local consultation and advice, acting as a bridge between the national and European research communities.

Workshops and Training

We offer training in the use of image processing software and continuously develop new tools and standards to enhance the efficiency and reliability of executing complex processing workflows by not necessarily technicla expert users. Staying at the forefront of technological innovation in integrative structural biology and lowering the access barrier to advanced cryoEM image processing to many groups in the biomedical field.
