My background is in Biological Sciences. I obtained my MSci at the University of Bristol. During my undergraduate degree, I became extremely interested in plant sciences and decided that I wanted to purse a PhD in plant/crop sciences.
I am a senior postdoc working at the Milner Therapeutics Institute (University of Cambridge). I focus on computational silico drug discovery pipelines from early target identification, drug repurposing and combinatorial compound approaches. A core part of my work involves analysis of multi-omics next-generation sequencing (NGS) datasets as well as constructing and interrogating biological networks.
I’m generally interested in the application of formal methods (computer science, computational) on complex multi-scale (biological) systems and especially in systems where there are emergent phenomena.
Matt took over the running of the Centre for Research Informatics Training in 2020 and oversees all aspects of the centre's programme, working with the rest of the team to drive innovation and continually improve the quality of bioinformatics, data science and biostatistics training for researchers within Cambridge and more broadly.
