About

Professor Masahide Kikkawa is a faculty member at The University of Tokyo, Japan. His research primarily focuses on structural biology, with recent articles exploring topics such as kinesin-1 stepping, cryo-EM structures of native chromatin, and the interactions between microtubules and actin filaments. He also investigates the structural aspects of various cellular components, contributing to our understanding of cell motility and signaling mechanisms.
