Summary
Benjamin Catching is a Single Cell Analysis Group Lead and bioinformatics specialist with nine years of experience applying physics, structural biology, and computational approaches to neurodegenerative and CNS disease research. He develops tools for single-cell, single-nucleus, and spatial multi-omic analysis and has built physical models of viral replication and pathogenesis during NIH postdoctoral work. Trained as a physicist (B.S.) and biophysicist (PhD, UCSF), he blends quantitative rigor with hands-on sequencing and structural methods to bridge wet-lab and computational workflows. Based in Washington, D.C., he brings a unique perspective shaped by deep mutational scanning, 3rd-generation sequencing, and infectious-disease modeling, making him adept at translating complex biological data into actionable insights.
