Team overview

Our team includes 16 scientists based in the UK, including both research assistants and associates. Our newest group member joined us in March 2022. We have hosted several summer students, as well as academic visitors.

One post-doctoral level post in the group is based jointly in Oxford/Cambridge to provide a link to the experimental lab of Scott Waddell and give scientific direction to projects that would have particular impact on that lab's experimental work.
