About

Renaud Vincentelli is a structural biologist and biochemist whose research has made significant contributions to the fields of protein expression, purification, and crystallization, particularly within the context of structural genomics. His work has been instrumental in developing and refining high- and medium-throughput methodologies that enable researchers to efficiently produce and characterize recombinant proteins at scale. His 2002 paper on medium-throughput crystallization, which garnered 80 citations, demonstrated the power of combining robotic screening with targeted manual optimization — a two-step approach that became a valuable framework in structural genomics pipelines. Vincentelli further advanced the field with protocols for small-scale expression screening in *E. coli*, helping researchers identify optimal conditions for soluble, stable protein production without requiring specialized automation, as reflected in his widely cited 2013 work. His 2014 study extended these approaches to the challenging domain of disulfide-rich venom proteins, showcasing his ability to tackle difficult protein targets. Collectively, Vincentelli's research has equipped the structural biology community with practical, scalable tools that accelerate the journey from gene to structure.
