About

Michel Genevois is a structural biologist whose pioneering work in high-throughput protein crystallization has significantly advanced the field of structural genomics. His key research focuses on developing and optimizing methodologies for protein structure determination, particularly through innovative crystallization approaches. Genevois's most influential contribution is his seminal 2002 paper, "A medium-throughput crystallization approach," which has garnered 80 citations and demonstrated the transformative value of combining robotic large-scale screening with manual or automated optimization of crystallization conditions. This two-step procedure established a new paradigm for structural genomics programs, enabling researchers to efficiently process and crystallize proteins at unprecedented scales. By bridging the gap between fully automated systems and traditional manual techniques, Genevois's work has accelerated the pace of protein structure determination, making it more accessible and cost-effective for the broader scientific community. His methodological innovations continue to influence how structural biology laboratories approach crystallization, particularly in medium-throughput settings where balancing efficiency with success rates is critical.
