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

Education and career

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

Honors and awards

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