About
Jin Hong Kim is a structural biologist and synchrotron instrumentation specialist whose research sits at the intersection of beamline technology and macromolecular crystallography. Based at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory in South Korea, Kim has made significant contributions to the development and optimization of advanced X-ray beamline infrastructure for studying the atomic-level structures of proteins and other biological macromolecules. His most notable work centers on the design and commissioning of BL-11C Micro-MX, a high-flux microfocus beamline at Pohang Light Source II (PLS-II), which became available to the scientific community in June 2017. This in-vacuum undulator-based beamline operates across an energy range of 5.0–20 keV, enabling crystallographic analysis of exceptionally small protein crystals that were previously inaccessible to conventional beamlines. This contribution has meaningfully expanded the experimental capabilities available to structural biologists across the region and beyond. With 28 citations for this foundational instrumentation paper, Kim's work has already begun influencing how researchers approach difficult crystallographic targets, establishing PLS-II as a competitive facility for cutting-edge macromolecular structure determination on the international stage.
