Fiona Zhou

Fiona Zhou is a Research Fellow at the University of Adelaide's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, affiliated with the South Australian Immunogenomics Cancer Institute (SAiGENCI) and the 3D Chromatin Organisation Laboratory. She obtained her PhD from the University of Adelaide, focusing on inflammatory responses in bone formation. Post-doctoral research included cartilage biology in the US, liver injury, and neuroscience in Adelaide. Since 2025, her work centers on testing therapies for drug-resistant estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer and investigating the role of 3D chromatin alterations in cancer drug resistance.

Her research employs in vitro and in vivo models to identify therapeutic targets, blending molecular biology and genomics approaches. While no specific scientific awards or grants are listed, her contributions to cancer drug resistance mechanisms and chromatin organization are highlighted in her current lab affiliation.
