This paper describes the scientific career and accomplishments of Professor Wladek Minor, who holds an endowed chair at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, USA. Prof. Minor is a coauthor of data processing software used by macromolecular crystallographers world-wide, as well as of structural biology servers and of a repository for raw diffraction data. He made major contributions to the validation of biostructural data, with special focus on drug design targets and reproducibility in biomedical research. He is among the most highly cited molecular biologists ever.
