About
Susanne L. Griffiths has made pivotal contributions to structural biology, particularly in the high-throughput management of protein crystallization—a critical bottleneck in macromolecular structure determination. Her key research areas include the development of laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and automated platforms for crystallization trials, enabling more efficient and reliable protein structure analysis. Her most notable work, the xtalPiMS web application (2011), revolutionized how researchers monitor and manage nanolitre-scale crystallization experiments, integrating robotic imaging and storage systems for 96-well plates. This tool streamlined data tracking and reduced human error, directly accelerating the pace of structural genomics. Although her citation count (6 for this paper) reflects a specialized niche, her impact is profound within the crystallography community, where xtalPiMS remains a foundational resource for labs adopting high-throughput methods. Griffiths’ work exemplifies how software engineering and biological research converge to solve complex experimental challenges, making her a key figure in modern structural biology infrastructure.
