About
Susan C. Koller is a research scientist specializing in genomic DNA purification technologies, with a particular focus on high-throughput automation solutions for both agricultural and biomedical applications. Her work has centered on developing and optimizing methods using MagneSil paramagnetic particles — a magnetic bead-based approach that enables rapid, scalable DNA extraction from diverse biological materials. Koller's contributions have been instrumental in demonstrating the versatility of automated DNA purification platforms. Her 2002 study showcased the successful adaptation of MagneSil technology to plant-based agricultural materials using leading robotic liquid handling systems, including the Beckman-Coulter FX, BioMek 2000, and Tecan Genesis. Building on this, her 2003 work introduced two complementary methods for purifying genomic DNA from human whole blood in 96-well plate formats — one maximizing DNA yield and another providing normalized output for downstream consistency. While her published papers have accumulated modest direct citation counts, her research addresses a foundational challenge in molecular biology: reliable, reproducible, and scalable DNA extraction. Her work serves as a practical resource for laboratories seeking to streamline genomic workflows in fields ranging from crop genetics to clinical diagnostics, making her contributions quietly essential to high-throughput molecular research.
