Recent Activities
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) allows observation of biological samples such as proteins and cells embedded in a thin layer of vitreous ice and determination of their three-dimensional structures. In our laboratory, I am conducting structural analyses and also developing measurement techniques by using advanced cryo-EM.
