Lisa M. Jones is an associate professor of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy in Baltimore, MD.

Early life and education
Jones became interested in science as a freshman at high school, where she took part in a national Science Technology Engineering Program. She went to college at Syracuse University, where she was the only person of colour in her major. Jones completed her PhD at Georgia State University in the lab of Jenny J. Yang. During her graduate training, she specialized in structural biology, specificially the structure of calcium binding proteins. '''Add postdoc info here? Or leave with career?'''

Career
She was a Pfizer postdoctoral researcher at Washington University in St. Louis. She joined Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis, where she became an associate professor. In 2016 Jones won a $1.1 million National Science Foundation Career grant to develop new techniques to study cell membranes. Her award supported research training for students from historically black colleges and universities to work in biochemistry. She developed protein-footprinting, a technique that uses mass spectrometry coupled with in vivo fast photochemical oxidation of proteins (FPOP). She is recognised for solving new questions in medicine as well as developing important tools for biomedical researchers. She moved to the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy in 2016.

Lisa Jones was a Postdoctoral Associate in the lab of Peter Prevelige at the University of Alabama at Birmingham from 2007-2009.

Research
The Jones Lab is a structural proteomics group, who specialist in FPOP using an excimer laser for photolysis, which generates hydroxyl radicals. Hydroxyl radicals go on to oxidise the side chains of amino acids and provide solvent accessibility of proteins within a cell. FPOP can provide information on the sites of ligand binding, protein interaction and protein conformational changes in vivo. Her group has continued to develop the FPOP technique, extending it with a no-flow platform for high-throughput in-cell measurements. This method allows for the analysis of protein-protein interactions in their native context.
