Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolElliot Nelson is a Research Software Engineer with a decade of experience bridging experimental science and data-driven software, currently shaping data management and FAIR principles for drug discovery at OMass Therapeutics. He brings deep domain knowledge from a DPhil in crystallography and hands-on beamline support at Diamond Light Source, having enabled rapid access and high-throughput structural experiments during the pandemic. Elliot excels at turning complex experimental workflows into reproducible data practices and visualisations that reveal subtle signals—such as weak ligand occupancy—from noisy datasets. His background spans physical and biomedical sciences, materials testing, and optics, giving him an uncommon blend of laboratory intuition and software-focused systems thinking. Colleagues rely on him to develop practical tools, documentation and training that make advanced techniques accessible to diverse user groups. Based in South Oxfordshire, he combines academic rigor with applied engineering to accelerate translational research.
