This was a good opportunity to look back on the motivation for its creation, the many opportunities it has offered to the research community so far, and the next big challenges for the PSB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psb-grenoble.eu\/IMG\/pdf\/september2023-web_3_.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">last edition of the PSB newsletter<\/a> (September 2023) included a special feature on these different aspects and a brief history of the PSB, with interesting reflections from key people who initiated, shaped, and supported this partnership: Stephen Cusack (EMBL Grenoble), Rob Ruigrok (Universit\u00e9 Grenoble Alpes, formerly at EMBL), Ed Mitchell (European Synchrotron Radiation Facility &#8211; ESRF), Eva Pebay-Peyroula (Universit\u00e9 Grenoble Alpes, formerly at Institut de Biologie Structurale &#8211; IBS), and Trevor Forsyth (LINXS, formerly at Institut Laue Langevin &#8211; ILL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we share some of their testimonials about the partnership\u2019s achievements over two decades, highlighting the main missions of this cooperation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sharing scientific facilities and platforms<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe beauty of the PSB was that, by enhancing the quality, efficiency, and ease of access to advanced structural biology infrastructure, and regularly upgrading these facilities as institutional budgets permitted, it enhanced the visibility and attractiveness of the Campus for both external users and on-site scientists, all of whom could benefit from the PSB\u2019s \u2018uniquely comprehensive palette of structural biology techniques\u2019.\u201d \u2013 <strong>Stephen Cusack, EMBL, former Head of EMBL Grenoble<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSetting up common platforms is the most important achievement. We have now on site an ensemble of techniques that are remarkable. Among the instruments, the development of cryo-EM was the most impressive.\u201d \u2013 <strong>Eva Pebay-Peyroula, Universit\u00e9 Grenoble Alpes, former IBS Director<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Putting together complementary research expertise<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith European Union funding (FLUPOL and FLUPHARM) and the PSB platform support, the Unit of Virus Host Cell Interactions (UVHCI) was able to answer fundamental questions on the Influenza polymerase, which is probably the best collective achievement so far. Now it\u2019s time for the newer PSB groups to identify a new and exciting scientific challenge, whatever that may be.\u201d \u2013 <strong>Rob Ruigrok, Universit\u00e9 Grenoble Alpes, former EMBL Group Leader and co-Director of the UVHCI<\/strong> (a Unite Mixte International created by UJF-EMBL-CNRS from 2007 to 2016)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is possibly unwise to single out any one particular achievement given that the PSB had such a broad impact. (&#8230;) The PSB has played a pivotal role in the development of what is now widely known as Integrative Structural Biology.\u201d \u2013 <strong>Trevor Forsyth, LINXS, former Head of the Life Sciences group at ILL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Enhancing training and scientific life on campus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe creation of the PSB and CIBB* enabled the recruitment of several talented research scientists (&#8230;). This provided a critical mass of researchers that enabled the UVHCI to attract substantial external funding to tackle fundamental questions in influenza, rabies, measles, and Epstein-Barr viral biology. It was an exciting time with weekly scientific meetings in viral biology (&#8230;).\u201d \u2013 <strong>Rob Ruigrok<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOn another level, the PSB through its various animations, training, and outreach activities has contributed to creating a sense of identity amongst structural biologists on the EPN campus.\u201d \u2013 <strong>Stephen Cusack<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Facing challenges: what\u2019s next?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe best achievement of the PSB is inspiring other similar centres to be created. Now the PSB needs to look to what it wants to be, and must be, in 2030 \u2013 how to better serve science, and our user communities and drive solutions to real challenges that the world faces by drawing on and drawing together the extraordinary technologies and brains which make up the PSB.\u201d \u2013 <strong>Ed Mitchell, ESRF<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are several exciting things happening in structural biology at the moment. First, advances in single-particle cryoEM now make it possible to obtain structural snapshots of large complexes in action. Second, ongoing instrumentation developments and artificial intelligence (AI) assisted image processing are making feasible in-cell structural biology using cryoEM tomography and correlative microscopy, and at lower resolution, X-ray imaging. Then, protein dynamics, transient states, and disordered systems can be studied by advanced NMR and time-resolved methods such as serial&nbsp; X-ray crystallography. Finally, the application of AI to structure prediction, de novo protein design, and potentially drug development is opening up totally new methods and fields. The PSB is already engaged in several of these activities, but if it wants to keep itself at the forefront of structural biology instrumentation, methods, and service, it needs to develop a forward-looking strategy encompassing all these opportunities.\u201d \u2013 <strong>Stephen Cusack<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>*The Carl-Ivar Br\u00e4nd\u00e9n Building (CIBB) was inaugurated in 2006
