About
Jangwoo Kim is a leading figure in macromolecular crystallography and synchrotron beamline science, with a focus on enabling high-resolution structural studies of challenging protein crystals. His most notable contribution is the development of the BL-11C Micro-MX beamline at Pohang Light Source II, a state-of-the-art, in-vacuum undulator-based microfocus facility that delivers a high-flux X-ray beam tunable from 5.0 to 20 keV. This beamline, made available to users in June 2017, is specifically designed for micrometre-sized protein crystals, overcoming a critical bottleneck in structural biology. Kim’s work on BL-11C has been highly impactful, with his seminal paper on the beamline accumulating 28 citations, reflecting its importance to the global crystallography community. By providing a reliable, high-performance platform for macromolecular crystallography, Kim has advanced the study of complex biological macromolecules, supporting drug discovery and fundamental biology. His achievements underscore his role in pushing the boundaries of synchrotron instrumentation, making him a key resource for researchers seeking to solve the structures of difficult-to-crystallize proteins.
