About

Wayne Glettig is a key figure in advancing macromolecular crystallography through innovative instrumentation and automation. His research focuses on developing high-precision, automated platforms that streamline X-ray diffraction experiments, making them more efficient for both academic and industrial users. Glettig’s major contributions include his work on the SLS Crystallization Platform at Beamline X06DA of the Swiss Light Source, a fully automated pipeline for *in situ* X-ray diffraction screening that has garnered 94 citations. This system set new standards for throughput and ease of use. He also designed the Parallel Robotics Inspired Goniometer (PRIGo), a compact, multi-axis goniometer that offers superior sample reorientation capabilities compared to traditional designs, earning 59 citations. By integrating robotics and serial mechanisms, Glettig’s work has significantly reduced manual intervention and improved data quality in structural biology. His achievements underscore a commitment to pushing the boundaries of crystallographic technology, enabling researchers to solve complex biological structures with greater speed and precision.
