Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKhanh Bui is an associate professor at McGill University with nine years of independent academic experience and a deep research pedigree in cryo-electron microscopy and cryo-electron tomography. Trained at ETH Zürich (PhD) and with postdoctoral work at EMBL and Paul Scherrer Institut, he combines structural biology, image processing, and bioinformatics to reveal 3D protein architectures in situ. His lab applies computational image-analysis methods alongside biochemical approaches to tackle noisy, high-dimensional cryo-ET data, translating methodological advances into biological insight. Based in Montreal, he balances rigorous quantitative technique development with curiosity-driven problem solving—approaching scientific puzzles with the playfulness of a child and the precision of a microscopist.
