Niko Grigorieff

Nikolaus Grigorieff is a biophysicist who develops methods to visualize macromolecules using electron cryo-microscopy and single-particle analysis, including many software tools. Grigorieff was born in Frankfurt/Main, Germany and grew up in Berlin (West), attended the Technische Universität to study physics, and moved to Bristol, UK in 1989 to improve his English and specialize in electron microscopy of semiconductors. After finishing his Ph.D. in 1993, he fondly remembered his high school biology classes and decided to apply his skills in electron microscopy to proteins.
