Instruct Image Processing Center

The Instruct Image Processing Center (I2PC) is part of Instruct-ES, the Spanish Instruct Centre at the Spanish National Centre for Biotechnology (CNB-CSIC). Funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation (MICIU), 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 Structural Biology.

Services and Access

I2PC provides 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, either on their own or as part of a broader Instruct-ES proposal. Instruct-ES also facilitates access for Spanish researchers to any Instruct service, acting as a bridge between the national and European research communities.

Training and Development

We offer training in the use of image processing software and continuously develop new tools and standards to enhance the efficiency and reliability of these tasks, staying at the forefront of technological innovation in structural biology.
