About
Guillaume Pompidor is a leading structural biologist specializing in macromolecular crystallography and the development of advanced synchrotron beamline instrumentation. His most impactful contribution is the design and commissioning of the P13 beamline at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) Integrated Facility for Structural Biology, located at the PETRA III ring at DESY in Hamburg. This tunable beamline, operational since mid-2013, supports high- and low-energy phasing with variable beam focusing across an energy range of 4 to 17.5 keV. The foundational paper describing P13 has been cited over 229 times, underscoring its critical role in enabling cutting-edge structural studies of biological macromolecules. Pompidor’s work has provided the global structural biology community with a state-of-the-art resource for solving complex protein structures. Earlier in his career, he contributed to the structural characterization of metal-resistance proteins, including the overproduction, purification, and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of CzcE from *Cupriavidus metallidurans* CH34, a periplasmic protein involved in cobalt, zinc, and cadmium homeostasis. Through his instrumental innovations and structural investigations, Pompidor has significantly advanced the tools and knowledge available for understanding biological systems at the molecular level.
