About

Henning Stahlberg is a leading structural biologist whose work bridges the gap between microfluidics and electron microscopy, enabling transformative advances in the study of membrane proteins and macromolecular complexes. His research centers on developing innovative methods for high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and electron crystallography, with a particular focus on integrating microfluidic technologies to streamline sample preparation and imaging. Stahlberg’s major contributions include pioneering the connection of μ-fluidics to electron microscopy, as demonstrated in his 2011 paper, which has garnered 26 citations and laid the groundwork for automated, high-throughput structural analysis. His impact is further reflected in his extensive body of work, with over 100 publications and thousands of citations, highlighting his role in advancing cryo-EM as a mainstream tool for structural biology. Notably, Stahlberg has been instrumental in developing the "single-particle cryo-EM" approach for challenging targets like G protein-coupled receptors and ion channels, earning him recognition as a key figure in the field. His achievements include leading the Center for Cellular Imaging and NanoAnalytics at the University of Basel, where he continues to push boundaries in cellular and molecular imaging.
