About

David H. Johnson is a structural biologist whose work has significantly advanced the high-throughput expression and characterization of proteins, with a particular focus on the model organism *Caenorhabditis elegans*. His most-cited research, including a landmark 2004 paper with over 100 citations, pioneered proteome-scale approaches to determine three-dimensional protein structures, providing a critical foundation for both fundamental biological discovery and therapeutic development. By developing robust methods for recombinant protein expression, Johnson enabled the systematic study of *C. elegans* proteins, opening new avenues for understanding complex biological pathways at the molecular level. His contributions have been instrumental in bridging the gap between genomic sequence data and functional protein analysis, helping to establish *C. elegans* as a powerful system for structural genomics. Through this work, Johnson has provided the scientific community with essential tools and resources, making him a key figure in the field of structural biology and proteomics.
