About
Dr. Mai Vuong has made significant contributions to structural biology, particularly in the development and application of high-throughput protein crystallization techniques. Her most-cited work, a 2003 study with 131 citations, details the practical implementation of a robotic system for nanolitre-scale vapour-diffusion sitting-drop crystallization. This research demonstrated the feasibility of routinely setting up 100 nl-scale experiments, surveying results from over 50 unrelated protein samples to provide a comprehensive snapshot of crystallization trials. By establishing a robust procedure for miniaturized crystallization, Dr. Vuong’s work enabled more efficient use of precious protein samples and accelerated the screening process, directly impacting the field of structural genomics. Her contributions have helped pave the way for modern high-throughput crystallography, reducing material costs and increasing the success rate of obtaining diffraction-quality crystals. Dr. Vuong’s research remains a foundational reference for scientists seeking to optimize nanolitre crystallization workflows, underscoring her role in advancing automated structural biology.
