Research summary
AI-generated

Daisuke Kihara's research focuses on computational structural biology, developing machine learning and deep learning methods to interpret biomolecular structures, especially from cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) data. His work includes building AI tools that automatically build atomic models of proteins and nucleic acids from experimental imaging data, as well as methods for evaluating the quality of predicted protein structures (such as those from AlphaFold) and predicting protein-protein interactions.
