We are proud to announce Dr. Bridget Carragher as the Plenary Speaker at NEXUS 2026, Canada’s premier cryo‑electron microscopy conference.
Dr. Carragher is an internationally respected leader in cryo‑EM, structural biology, and automated electron microscopy. She currently holds multiple leadership roles across academic and industry settings. Her primary current position is Founding Technical Director of the Chan Zuckerberg Imaging Institute (CZII), a role she assumed in January 2023. She also serves as Chief Technology Officer of Nano Imaging Services, the company she founded. Before leading the CZII, Dr. Carragher directed the Simons Electron Microscopy Center in New York and the National Resource for Automated Molecular Microscopy (NRAMM), at Scripps. These organizations were among the first cryo-EM national resources worldwide and defined a model for sharing such resources to maximize impact.
Her work has been instrumental in improving accessibility, automation, and data quality in cryo‑EM, significantly shaping modern workflows used across academia, national facilities, and industry worldwide.
Dr. Carragher’s leadership and vision align strongly with NEXUS 2026’s mission to advance and connect the Canadian cryo‑EM community.
