About
Martha Brennich is a leading figure in biological small-angle X-ray scattering (BioSAXS), a technique crucial for understanding the structure and dynamics of biomolecules in solution. Her major contributions center on the development and optimization of the BM29 BioSAXS beamline at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), particularly during its landmark Extremely Brilliant Source (EBS) upgrade. Her most-cited work (2022, 59 citations) documents this transformative refurbishment, detailing the installation of a two-pole wiggler that dramatically increased beam brilliance, alongside upgrades to the detector, sample robot, and data analysis software. This work has been instrumental in enabling high-throughput, high-resolution structural studies for the global scientific community. Through her efforts, Brennich has significantly enhanced the accessibility and reliability of BioSAXS, empowering researchers to tackle complex biological questions. Her achievements reflect a deep commitment to advancing synchrotron instrumentation and fostering collaborative science, making her a key enabler of modern structural biology.
