Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Orton is a PhD researcher in Chemical Biology with 11 years of research experience applying synthetic biology, protein design, computational modelling, robotic automation and machine learning to create novel biocatalysts aligned with UN sustainable development goals. His work spans hands-on structural biology, genome analysis and incorporation of unnatural cofactors into designed proteins, reflecting a rare blend of wet-lab expertise and computational design. At Cardiff’s Rhys Lab he focuses on engineering biological networks and atomic-scale modifications that tune catalytic chemistry, while prior projects include protein crystallography for neglected-disease drug leads and antimicrobial design. Outside the lab he is an avid runner, ensemble musician and wild forager, interests that inform a collaborative, curious approach to problem solving and an appreciation for long-term, interdisciplinary thinking.
