About

Yannick Schwab is a leading figure in advanced X-ray imaging for the life sciences, with his work centered on developing high-throughput, phase-contrast tomography for structural biology. His major contribution is the creation of the High Throughput Tomography (HiTT) platform, established on the EMBL beamline P14 at DESY’s PETRA III synchrotron. This innovative system leverages a high-photon-flux undulator beamline to perform tomographic phase-contrast acquisitions in approximately two minutes, dramatically accelerating the imaging of biological samples. By enabling rapid, non-destructive 3D visualization of soft tissues and cellular structures, Schwab’s work bridges the gap between synchrotron capabilities and routine biological research. His most cited paper on HiTT (2023, 23 citations) demonstrates the platform’s immediate impact, offering researchers a fast and versatile tool for structural analysis. This achievement positions Schwab as a key innovator in correlative imaging, providing the scientific community with unprecedented speed and resolution for exploring complex biological architectures.
