Since 2002 she has also served as the Director of the National Resource for Automated Molecular Microscopy (NRAMM), an NIH funded national biotechnology center. The focus of NRAMM is the development of automated imaging techniques for solving three-dimensional structures of macromolecular complexes using cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryoEM). The overall goal is to develop new methods to improve the entire process, from specimen preparation to the generation of the final three-dimensional map. In 2007 Dr. Carragher helped start a new company, NanoImaging Services, Inc., whose goal is to provide cryoEM and other microscopy services to the biopharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. She serves as Chief Science Officer for NanoImaging Services.
