About
Nathalie Ulryck is a structural biologist whose work has been instrumental in advancing high-throughput X-ray crystallography and structural genomics. Her research focuses on developing robust, automated systems to overcome critical bottlenecks in protein structure determination, particularly in crystallization and laboratory data management. Ulryck’s most notable contribution is the creation of **HalX**, an open-source Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) designed for small- to large-scale laboratories. This software, cited 28 times, streamlines the tracking and analysis of structural genomics projects, enabling researchers to efficiently manage the explosive growth of protein sequence data. Additionally, her work on the **South Paris Yeast Structural Genomics Project** (15 citations) pioneered high-throughput crystal-optimization strategies, demonstrating that standardized, automated nanodrop crystallization screens can effectively replace labor-intensive trial-and-error methods. By moving the bottleneck from crystallization setup to optimization, Ulryck’s contributions have helped accelerate the systematic determination of protein structures, supporting the broader goal of building a universal protein-fold dictionary. Her achievements highlight the critical role of open-source tools and automation in modern structural biology.
