Nadia Zatsepin

Assoc. Prof. Nadia Zatsepin is an Associate Professor at Swinburne University's School of Science, Computing and Emerging Technologies. She leads research on serial crystallography using XFELs and synchrotrons to study biomolecules at atomic resolution. Her work focuses on membrane proteins, structural dynamics, and drug discovery. Zatsepin holds an ARC Future Fellowship and has pioneered techniques like viscous jet delivery and time-resolved XFEL methods.

Education: PhD in X-ray physics (Monash University, 2011). Postdoctoral work at Arizona State University (2011–2015) and senior roles at La Trobe University and the ARC Centre for Advanced Molecular Imaging before joining Swinburne in 2024.

Research interests include XFEL applications, microcrystallography, radiation damage mitigation, and structural analysis of medically relevant proteins. Key projects involve studying cytochrome c oxidase, chloride pumps, and GPCRs.

Publications span crystallography instrumentation, protein dynamics, and structural biology. Awards include the ARC Future Fellowship. Active in supervising PhD students and leading grants like 'Developing serial crystallography for room temperature structure & dynamics.'

Labs/Teams: Zatsepin Lab (https://sites.google.com/view/zatsepinlab). Collaborations include international XFEL facilities and structural biology networks.
