Richard Neutze is a Professor at the University of Gothenburg, specializing in molecular biophysics. His research group harnesses X-ray free electron lasers to investigate the structural dynamics of membrane proteins. These proteins play pivotal roles in energy transduction and signaling in living organisms. Observing their structural changes provides insights into their evolutionary adaptations and the mechanisms they employ to facilitate chemical reactions essential to life. Neutze has a solid track record of international collaboration and has contributed to groundbreaking methodology for studying membrane proteins using advanced X-ray techniques. After receiving his PhD in physics from the University of Canterbury in 1995, he worked with Janos Hajdu at Oxford University before accepting a Humboldt Fellowship at Tübingen University. In 2000, he relocated his research group from Chalmers University of Technology to the University of Gothenburg, where he was appointed Professor of Biochemistry in 2006. Neutze's work is underscored by numerous important publications, including notable studies on photosynthetic reaction centers and bacteriorhodopsin, highlighting structural changes using time-resolved X-ray diffraction and scattering techniques.
