About
Christoph Mueller‐Dieckmann is a leading figure in the development of advanced instrumentation for structural biology at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). His research focuses on macromolecular crystallography (MX) and small-angle X-ray scattering (BioSAXS), where he has driven transformative upgrades that enable high-throughput, automated experiments. Mueller‐Dieckmann’s major contributions include spearheading the design and implementation of RoboDiff, a combined sample changer and goniometer that revolutionized MX beamlines by dramatically increasing sample mounting reliability and speed (44 citations). He also played a key role in the ESRF’s Extremely Brilliant Source (EBS) upgrade, leading the refurbishment of the BM29 BioSAXS beamline with a new two-pole wiggler, detector, and robotics, boosting brilliance and automation (59 citations). His work on high-pressure cooling systems for cryoprotectant-free crystals (21 citations) further expanded the toolkit for challenging biological samples. With over 100 combined citations across his most influential papers, Mueller‐Dieckmann’s innovations have made synchrotron facilities more accessible and efficient, enabling researchers worldwide to solve complex macromolecular structures faster and with higher quality data.
