Ellen Zhong

Ellen Zhong, a computer science professor at Princeton University, is revolutionizing molecular imaging through deep learning applications in cryo-EM. She discusses how her lab addresses challenges in reconstructing 3D structures from 2D images. Ellen also explores the use of machine learning to uncover previously hidden structures and the ongoing issues of heterogeneity in protein analysis. She emphasizes the importance of improving algorithms alongside experimental data collection for effective results, and reflects on the future of cryo-EM in biomedical applications.
