Fraser obtained a BSc in Chemistry from the University of Sheffield in 1987 and a Dr. rer. nat. from the Department of Chemistry at the Free University of Berlin (Germany) in 1993. He pursued post-doctoral research at the Technical University Berlin (Germany) (1993-1995), the Commissariat de l’Energie Atomique, Saclay, France (1995-1998) and the Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University Frankfurt (Germany) (1998-2006).

Fraser is currently a Reader in the School of Chemical Sciences and Pharmacy at the University of East Anglia, Norwich where he joined the faculty in 2007. To coincide with his appointment Fraser has won a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award. He leads biological EPR research in the Henry Welcome Laboratory.

His present research aims to elucidate structure / function relationships in biomolecules and the role of bio-generated radicals. Particular emphasis being on the application, and expansion, of electron paramagnetic resonance methods to study such bioenergetic membrane proteins.
