About
Suk-Youl Park is a leading figure in macromolecular crystallography, specializing in the development and application of cutting-edge synchrotron beamlines. His primary research focuses on advancing X-ray diffraction techniques to solve the structures of challenging, micrometre-sized protein crystals. Park’s major contribution is the design and commissioning of the BL-11C Micro-MX beamline at Pohang Light Source II, a high-flux, in-vacuum undulator-based microfocus facility that became operational in June 2017. This beamline, with its tunable energy range of 5.0–20 keV, has been instrumental in enabling high-resolution structural studies of proteins that were previously inaccessible due to crystal size limitations. His work on this beamline, detailed in a 2021 publication that has already garnered 28 citations, has significantly expanded the capabilities for structural biology in South Korea and beyond. By providing a powerful tool for the international research community, Park has directly facilitated breakthroughs in understanding biological mechanisms and drug design, establishing himself as a key enabler of modern structural biology.
