Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Terwilliger is a senior scientist and long-time member of the Phenix team who develops tools for X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM, with a particular focus on model building and density-map improvement. Based at Los Alamos/New Mexico Consortium, he brings decades of hands-on research experience in protein structure and function, including academic leadership as an assistant professor and prestigious postdoctoral work. He combines deep computational tool development with structural biology insights, contributing practical improvements used by structural biologists worldwide. Trained as a physicist at Harvard and holding a PhD in molecular biology from UCLA, he pairs rigorous quantitative thinking with molecular-level problem solving. A less obvious strength is his sustained ability to translate foundational research into widely adopted software over many years, shaping both methods and practice in structural biology.
