About

E.L. Baxter has made transformative contributions to structural biology, particularly in advancing high-throughput crystallography methods for challenging macromolecular systems. Their landmark 2015 paper on high-density grids for efficient data collection from multiple crystals, with 75 citations, revolutionized sample delivery for microfocus synchrotron beamlines. This work addressed a critical bottleneck: how to mount and collect data from numerous small, radiation-sensitive crystals efficiently. Baxter's innovations enabled researchers to tackle previously intractable structural problems by dramatically increasing data collection throughput and reducing sample waste. Their methods have become essential for femtosecond crystallography experiments at X-ray free-electron lasers, where rapid sample delivery is paramount. By developing practical solutions for handling microcrystals, Baxter's work has directly supported groundbreaking studies of membrane proteins, large complexes, and other radiation-sensitive targets. Their contributions have accelerated the pace of structural discovery, enabling scientists to determine structures from samples that would have been impossible to study with conventional approaches. Baxter's research continues to shape how structural biologists approach challenging crystallographic investigations, making them a key figure in the modern synchrotron and XFEL experimental landscape.
