Greg Hura and the SIBYLS staff received the 2025 Klaus Halbach award for their work on innovative instrumentation for time-resolved, high-throughput, small-angle X-ray scattering (TR-HT-SAXS).
On Tuesday, August 2nd, Michal Hammel gave a presentation on BioSAXS at the SIBYLS beamline. This talk was part of a tutorial session called “LS-101,” designed to give students and postdocs a general introduction to the scientific research possible at the Advanced Light Source.
Greg Hura, SIBYLS beamline scientist, along with the SIBYLS staff will be presented the 2025 Halbach Award for innovative instrumentation at the Advanced Light Source during the ALS User Workshop (Aug 11 – 13). Dr. Hura will give the Halbach Award talk during the plenary session on the first day of the User Meeting, Aug…

In this Baker paper, published in Nature Communications in November 2024, the authors describe the design of pseudosymmetric protein hetero-oligomers. These proteins are versatile building blocks for creating functional materials and controlling biological processes. The Baker group utilized SEC-SAXS and SEC-MALS data collected at the SIBYLS beamline in the design of these proteins. Read the…
