About
Thomas S. Walter is a structural biologist whose work has advanced high-throughput protein crystallography, particularly through the development and application of robotic systems for nanolitre-scale crystallization. His most cited paper (131 citations) presents a landmark study on the routine use of a robotic platform for setting up 100 nl-scale vapour-diffusion sitting-drop experiments, surveying results from over 50 unrelated protein samples and demonstrating the practical viability of miniaturized crystallization for structural genomics. Walter’s contributions are further exemplified by his collaborative work on a structural proteomics analysis of *Bacillus anthracis* (27 citations), a project conducted within the SPINE (Structural Proteomics In Europe) consortium between the Universities of York and Oxford. This work applied high-throughput technologies to determine structures of proteins from the anthrax pathogen, underscoring the biomedical relevance of his research. By enabling efficient, large-scale crystallization trials, Walter has helped accelerate the pace of protein structure determination, making his work foundational for researchers in structural biology and drug discovery.
