Zoë Fisher is Group Leader for Deuteration and Macromolecular Crystallisation at the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden, and holds an adjunct senior lectureship in the Department of Biology at Lund University. She also leads Working Group 2 of the Chemistry of Life theme at LINXS, focusing on chemical-biology strategies to modulate biomolecular function.
Dr. Fisher’s scientific journey is rooted in cell biology, molecular biology, physiology, and biochemistry, with a strong emphasis on structural biology. She employs isotope-labelling methodologies for NMR, neutron, and X-ray crystallography to tackle mechanistic questions of ligand binding, hydrogen-bond networks, electrostatic interactions, and the role of water in molecular recognition.
Her current research integrates structural information from neutron and X-ray crystallography to design small-molecule modulators—ligands, substrates, inhibitors, or activators—that can fine-tune enzyme activity or alter protein conformation.
Although the provided text mentions no formal awards or funded grants, her leadership roles at ESS and LINXS underscore her recognition within the structural-biology and chemical-biology communities.
