BSISB Program Director
510-486-5943 | hyholman@lbl.gov

Dr. Hoi-Ying Holman is the Founding Director of the Berkeley Synchrotron Infrared Structural Biology (BSISB) imaging program. She is also a Senior Staff Scientist in the Molecular Biophysics and Integrated Bioimaging (MBIB) Division of LBNL. Hoi-Ying has dedicated much of her career to the synchrotron infrared radiation (SIR) hyperspectral imaging of biological systems, demonstrating key applications of SIR in microbial ecology, renewal bioenergy, and biomedical imaging. Her work has been recognized by the international R&D 100 Awards for invention of the “Multiplex Chemotyping Microarray (MCM) System and Methods” and the ALS’ David A. Shirley Award for Outstanding Scientific Achievement, for “pioneering the study of living cells and their response to environmental stimuli using synchrotron-based FTIR spectro-microscopy.” Hoi-Ying received her Ph.D. in Environmental Chemistry & Chemical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley.
