This person is a member of Sanger Institute Alumni.
After 13 years of exciting and challenging work supporting science at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, I decided to retire in December 2025.
I will be spending more time thinking about genomics and the informatics of biology than is possible in an operational role.
Music has been my passion since I first began learning the piano and organ as a youngster. I will be spending considerable time continuing to develop those skills as a professional musician.
His role is to interact with scientists at all levels, understand and gather requirements for developing and maintaining informatics systems supporting Stem Cell Engineering. He is a biophysicist software developer interested in bioinformatics of genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9 (see WGE), algorithms for tracking lab processes and sequence pattern recognition.
