CERM (European Center for Magnetic Resonance, Italian: Centro Europeo di Risonanze Magnetiche) is a research facility at the University of Florence specialized in the application of NMR studies to biomolecules. It is a leading research center in Tuscany.[1]
The center was founded by Ivano Bertini[2] and it is located at the Polo Scientifico (Scientific Campus) in Sesto Fiorentino. It is supported by the European Community as a research infrastructure for NMR in the Life Sciences
Scientific research
Under Bertini's leadership, CERM became one of the leading research centers in the world and it has a focus on structural biology, biophysics, and drug discovery. In 1994 at CERM the first structure of a metalloprotein was discovered through NMR [3] using structural constraints due to the paramagnetic center.
In February 2020 CERM completed the installation of the most powerful NMR spectrometer in the world.[4]
