Richard Neutze (born 5 July 1969) is a biophysicist from New Zealand, now a Professor of Biochemistry in the Department of Chemistry &amp; Molecular Biology at Gothenburg University in Gothenburg, Sweden. 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, which in part led to the invention of serial femtosecond crystallography.
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. Afterwards, he conducted postdoctoral research at University of Oxford, University of Tübingen, and Uppsala University.
Honors and awards.
Neutze received the Young Scientist Award at European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in 2000, and the Hugo Theorell Prize from the Swedish Biophysics Society in 2012.
