About
Woulwoo Lee is a leading figure in macromolecular crystallography, with a primary research focus on the development and optimization of synchrotron beamlines for cutting-edge structural biology. His most significant contribution is the design and implementation of the BL-11C Micro-MX beamline at the Pohang Light Source II, a high-flux, microfocus facility that revolutionized the study of micrometre-sized protein crystals. This beamline, which became operational in 2017, is an in-vacuum undulator-based system tunable across a 5.0–20 keV energy range, enabling researchers to tackle previously intractable biological structures. The work, published in 2021 and cited 28 times, has been instrumental in advancing structural biology in South Korea and beyond. Lee’s expertise bridges accelerator physics and biological application, making him a key enabler of high-resolution structural studies. His achievements underscore a career dedicated to pushing the boundaries of X-ray science, providing the global research community with essential tools for drug discovery and molecular understanding.
