The Structurally Integrated BiologY for the Life Sciences (SIBYLSteam received the 2025 Klaus Halbach Award for Innovative Instrumentation at the 2025 Advanced Light Source (ALS) User Meeting in August. Led by Molecular Biophysics and Integrated Bioimaging Division Science Deputy Greg Hura, the SIBYLS team includes: staff scientist Michal Hammel, research scientist Scott Classen, beamline administrator Kathryn Burnett, Structural Biology Department Head Susan Tsutakawa, scientific engineering associate Brandon Russell, research associate Aimee Chi Soe, and postdoctoral researchers Joshua Del Mundo, Nazar Gora, and Antonio Caliò.

The ALS Users’ Executive Committee (UEC) recognized the team “for their pioneering work in developing the time-resolved, high-throughput, small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) technique at Beamline 12.3.1,” which specializes in the collection of data from biological samples. Hura accepted the award on behalf of the team.
