Main Research Fields

We focus on the theoretical and methodological development of electron cryo-microscopy(CryoEM) and its application in structural biology to address important biological questions. We are particularly interested in developing and applying novel image processing technology to advance CryoEM for routine atomic-resolution structure analysis of biological macromolecules. In biology, we are working on the structural and functional mechanism of bacterial secretion system.
