Richard Neutze (born 5 July 1969) is a biophysicist from New Zealand, now a Professor of Biochemistry in the Department of Chemistry & Molecular Biology at Gothenburg University in Gothenburg, Sweden.[1] He has made fundamental contributions to X-ray crystallography of biomolecules, including proposal of the idea of diffract before destroy along with Janos Hajdu and others,[2] which in part led to the invention of serial femtosecond crystallography.[3]

Education and career

Neutze graduated with a BSc in physics in 1991 and PhD in biophysics in 1995 from University of Canterbury, New Zealand, where his supervisor was Geoff Stedman.[4] Afterwards, he conducted postdoctoral research at University of Oxford, University of Tübingen, and Uppsala University.[5]

Honors and awards

Neutze received the Young Scientist Award at European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in 2000,[6] and the Hugo Theorell Prize from the Swedish Biophysics Society in 2012.[7]
