About

Siew Siew Pang has made pivotal contributions to structural biology, particularly in advancing methods for macromolecular crystallography. Her research focuses on developing high-throughput sample-delivery techniques to overcome challenges posed by small, radiation-sensitive crystals—critical for both synchrotron microfocus beamlines and X-ray free-electron lasers. Her most cited work, "High-density grids for efficient data collection from multiple crystals" (2015, 75 citations), introduced a practical solution for mounting and screening numerous crystals, significantly boosting data collection efficiency. This innovation has been instrumental in enabling productive femtosecond crystallography experiments, where rapid sample delivery is essential. Pang’s work directly addresses the bottleneck of crystal handling in challenging structural investigations, facilitating the study of previously intractable biological targets. Her contributions have been recognized as foundational for modern high-throughput crystallography, impacting both academic research and pharmaceutical development. By streamlining the path from crystal to structure, Pang has helped accelerate discoveries in drug design and fundamental biology, making her a key figure in the evolution of structural biology methodology.
