About

Ruchira Chatterjee is a structural biologist whose research focuses on advancing X-ray crystallography and serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) to solve challenging biological structures. Her key contributions center on developing high-throughput methods for data collection from multiple small, radiation-sensitive crystals—critical for microfocus synchrotron and X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) experiments. Her most cited work, "High-density grids for efficient data collection from multiple crystals" (2015, 75 citations), introduced a practical sample-delivery platform that dramatically improved data collection efficiency and productivity, enabling structural studies of previously intractable targets. This innovation has been widely adopted, supporting femtosecond crystallography at XFEL facilities and advancing our understanding of membrane proteins and other radiation-sensitive complexes. Chatterjee’s work bridges the gap between sample preparation and data acquisition, making her a key figure in the evolution of modern crystallographic methods. Her contributions continue to empower researchers tackling some of biology’s most challenging structural problems.
