Research summary
AI-generated

Yuki Kagaya works on computational structural biology, developing methods to predict, model, and analyze protein and RNA structures. Much of the recent work focuses on improving cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure modeling, protein complex assembly, and function prediction using machine learning and deep learning tools such as AlphaFold-based methods. This research aims to make it easier and more accurate to determine the 3D shapes of proteins and how they interact, which is useful for understanding biological function and disease.
