About
Tamami Uejima has made pivotal contributions to structural biology, particularly in high-throughput protein crystallography. Her landmark work on the development of the PXS system—an automated large-scale protein-crystallization and monitoring platform—addressed a critical bottleneck in macromolecular structure determination. By integrating parallel dispensing, incubation, and imaging subsystems under unified control software, Uejima’s innovation dramatically accelerated the screening of crystallization conditions, enabling more efficient protein-structure analyses. This foundational achievement, cited over 60 times, has been instrumental in advancing structural genomics and drug discovery pipelines. Uejima’s technical ingenuity in automating complex laboratory processes has not only reduced manual labor but also improved reproducibility and data quality in crystallographic studies. Her work exemplifies how engineering solutions can transform fundamental biological research, making her a key figure in the evolution of high-throughput structural biology.
