Summary
Gustavo Lima is a protein crystallographer and scientific software developer with 11 years of experience translating structural biology problems into automated, high-throughput solutions. Based in Cambridge, he has led fragment screening and beamline operations at MAX IV and now applies crystallography expertise to drug discovery at Astex Pharmaceuticals. His background spans PhD-level structural biology, molecular modelling and simulation, and hands-on software development for crystallographic data analysis and HT cloning workflows. Gustavo combines experimental skills (protein expression, enzymatic and thermal assays) with proficiency in CCP4, Phenix, GROMACS and docking toolchains to close the loop between data collection and actionable models. He has a track record of building full-stack tools for fragment screening platforms and elsewhere, reflecting a rare blend of beamline leadership and developer mindset. Colleagues value him for making complex structural pipelines reproducible and scalable across academic and industrial settings.
