We are pleased to announce that the Netherlands Centre for Electron Nanoscopy (NeCEN) will be exhibiting at the upcoming Leiden Drug Development Conference (LDDC 2026) on 7–8 October at the CORPUS Congress Centre in Leiden.
As the Dutch national research facility for high-resolution transmission electron microscopy in the life sciences, NeCEN serves as a crucial innovation hub for accelerating Structure-Based Drug Design (SBDD). Whether you are developing novel biologics, targeting challenging membrane proteins, or seeking mechanistic breakthroughs, cryo-EM provides direct, atomic-level visualization of drug targets in their near-native conformations

NeCEN's showcase Banner, Brochures, Colouring Books, and Collectible 3D Cryo-EM Postcards
Meet the NeCEN Team at the Booth
Throughout the conference, we will be at our exhibitor table to welcome delegates, discuss your ongoing projects, and answer questions on integrating high-resolution cryo-EM into your discovery pipeline. Stop by for an informal chat, pick up our latest materials, or explore project feasibility over coffee.
In addition, be sure to check out the scientific poster session during the event, where the Meindert Lamers will present cryo-EM structural data investigating bacterial replication machinery and novel antibiotic mechanisms.
What to Discover at Our Table
Delegates and partners visiting our booth at CORPUS will have the opportunity to explore our full suite of newly updated promotional and scientific collateral:
- New 3-Fold Service Brochures: Pick up our tailored guides outlining access routes for academic research (subsidized via NWO Roadmap and Instruct-ERIC) and dedicated biopharma drug discovery pipelines.
- "A Journey into the Nanocosmos" Colouring Book: A creative, beautifully illustrated journey through the molecules of life, perfect for structural biology enthusiasts.
- 3D Cryo-EM Postcard Series: Limited-edition gallery postcards featuring landmark biomedical structures solved at NeCEN and Leiden University—including E. faecium PolC DNA Polymerase bound to Ibezapolstat, the Human Dopamine D3 Receptor, Bacteriophage 7-7-1, SARS-CoV-2 M Protein dimer, and the USP1/UAF1 Deubiquitinase complex.
- End-to-End Workflow Guidance: Discuss feasibility and screening strategies with our expert scientific operators, from sample biochemistry and plunge vitrification to automated data collection and 3D density reconstruction.
Schedule an In-Person Facility Tour at Leiden Bio Science Park
Because NeCEN is located right down the road from CORPUS at the Gorlaeus Building (Einsteinweg 55), we warmly invite conference delegates, biotech leaders, and research partners to schedule an informal, in-person walkthrough of our microscope suites in the days after the conference.
