Data-Driven Drug Discovery and Molecular Informatics

Research Associate

Lewis joined the Bender research group at the Centre for Molecular Informatics in 2013 through a BBSRC/AstraZeneca CASE Studentship, following an undergraduate degree in Biology and Computing Science at the University of Manchester. His doctoral research involves the development of target prediction & Mechanism-of-Action (MoA) protocols which are publicly available via GitHub. This is an area of research which will be continued subsequently also in his postdoctoral project.
