PhD Title: Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled Cryogenic Electron Ptychography For Bio-macromolecule Imaging

PhD Supervisor: Peng Wang

Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-EM) with single-particle analysis (SPA) is a powerful method for visualizing a wide range of biological macromolecules in three dimensions (3D) at near-atomic resolution, which can provide direct insights into function and mechanism. Despite these revolutionary advances, it remains a challenge to deal with such small, heterogeneous and/or flexible molecules or complexes. An emerging strategy is based on cryogenic electron ptychography, which has been recently demonstrated by us for phase reconstruction of biological samples under low dose conditions.
