About
Nathalie A. Larive is a leading figure in the integration of robotics with structural biology, with a primary focus on advancing X-ray crystallography for drug discovery. Her most cited work, "Recent progress in robot-based systems for crystallography and their contribution to drug discovery" (2013, 21 citations), highlights her pivotal role in automating the high-throughput processes that are essential for solving macromolecular structures at atomic resolution. By developing and refining robotic systems, Larive has enabled the rapid, reproducible handling of protein crystals, dramatically accelerating the pace of structural determination. This automation is critical for understanding protein function and mapping ligand interactions, directly impacting the early stages of therapeutic development. Her contributions have streamlined workflows, reduced human error, and made crystallography more accessible for large-scale screening campaigns. Through this work, Larive has established herself as a key innovator at the intersection of engineering and molecular biology, providing the tools that allow researchers to efficiently probe the atomic details of biological mechanisms and expedite the discovery of new drugs.
