Pandemics and Alertness member WG3 (Complementary and enabling techniques), LINXS Fellow

Professor of Theoretical Chemistry at Lund University and affiliated professor at Chalmers University of Technology

Marie Skepö is trained in physical, surface, and colloid chemistry, she earned her Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Lund University and has dedicated her career to understanding how intrinsically disordered proteins and other biomolecules interact, both in solution and at surfaces. Her group combines molecular simulations with advanced biophysical techniques, such as X-ray and neutron scattering, to explore the complex dynamics of proteins and biomolecular systems. Skepö has mentored numerous students and postdoctoral researchers while building a strong international network of collaborations. She is a member of several national research communities, including a group leader at the Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab), the Center for Nanoscience at Lund University (NanoLund), and the Wallenberg Initiative for Materials Science for Sustainability community (WISE). Beyond her research, Skepö has held several leadership roles, including Vice Director of LINXS, the Institute of Advanced Neutron and X-ray Science, where she helped strengthen connections within the scattering community.
