Dr. Holton is currently an Associate Adjunct Professor at the University of California San Francisco with a Faculty Associate appointment at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where he serves as the Director for the Macromolecular Crystallography (MX) X-ray Diffraction Beamline 8.3.1 at the Advanced Light Source. He is an expert in optimizing sample preparation and diffraction techniques with particular focus on radiation damage, detector performance and x-ray scattering physics. He has written several absolute-scale simulators for both "conventional" MX and femtosecond nanocrystallography that have been instrumental in designing these experiments.

Dr. Holton earned a B.S., in Biology from the California Institute of Technology and his Ph.D., in Molecular and Cell Biology from the University of California at Berkeley.
