CryoHype: Reconstructing a thousand cryo-EM structures with transformer-based hypernetworks

CVPR 2026

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is an indispensable technique for determining the 3D structures of dynamic biomolecular complexes. While typically applied to image a single molecular species, cryo-EM holds great potential for structure determination of many targets simultaneously in a high-throug

Multiscale guidance of protein structure prediction with heterogeneous cryo-EM data

NeurIPS 2025poster

Protein structure prediction models are now capable of generating accurate 3D structural hypotheses from sequence alone. However, they routinely fail to capture the conformational diversity of dynamic biomolecular complexes, often requiring heuristic MSA subsampling approaches for generating alterna…

CryoDRGN2: Ab Initio Neural Reconstruction of 3D Protein Structures From Real Cryo-EM Images

ICCV 2021poster

Protein structure determination from cryo-EM data requires reconstructing a 3D volume (or distribution of volumes) from many noisy and randomly oriented 2D projection images. While the standard homogeneous reconstruction task aims to recover a single static structure, recently-proposed neural and no…

Reconstructing continuous distributions of 3D protein structure from cryo-EM images

ICLR 2020spotlight

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a powerful technique for determining the structure of proteins and other macromolecular complexes at near-atomic resolution. In single particle cryo-EM, the central problem is to reconstruct the 3D structure of a macromolecule from $10^{4-7}$ noisy and randomly…
