About
Dr. Naoko Ono is a structural biologist whose work has significantly advanced high-throughput protein crystallography, particularly through her contributions at the RIKEN SPring-8 Center. Her research focuses on developing and optimizing pipelines that streamline the entire process from crystallization to three-dimensional structure determination, enabling rapid and efficient analysis of biological macromolecules. Her most-cited paper, "High-throughput crystallization-to-structure pipeline at RIKEN SPring-8 Center" (2008), with 26 citations, details a pioneering automated system that integrates robotic crystallization, synchrotron data collection, and computational analysis. This work has been instrumental in accelerating structural genomics projects, allowing researchers to solve protein structures at unprecedented speeds. Dr. Ono’s contributions have helped establish SPring-8 as a world-class facility for structural biology, supporting studies in drug discovery and fundamental biochemistry. Her pipeline remains a benchmark for high-throughput crystallography, demonstrating how automation and synchrotron technology can transform the field.
