About
Raphael Cohen-Aberdam is a leading figure in structural biology, specializing in the development and application of cutting-edge synchrotron techniques. His primary research focuses on advancing small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) for biological macromolecules, particularly through the optimization of beamline instrumentation and data analysis. His most impactful contribution is his pivotal role in the major upgrade of the BM29 BioSAXS beamline at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) as part of its Extremely Brilliant Source (EBS) project. This work, detailed in his highly cited 2022 paper (59 citations), involved replacing the beamline’s original bending magnet with a two-pole wiggler, dramatically increasing brilliance and enabling higher-throughput, higher-resolution experiments. Cohen-Aberdam’s efforts have significantly enhanced the capabilities for studying complex biological structures in solution, making him a key enabler for the global structural biology community. His achievements underscore his expertise in bridging engineering and biology, and his work continues to shape the future of synchrotron-based research.
