Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGordon Wells is a research-savvy structural and computational biologist with 11 years of experience bridging molecular modeling and cutting-edge bioimaging to interrogate host–pathogen mechanisms, currently studying 3D architecture of human TB and other lung infections with X-ray microscopy and micro-CT at AHRI. He transitioned from virtual drug screening and structural modeling of Plasmodium falciparum enzymes and mammalian receptors to integrating multimodal imaging datasets using linked data and semantic modelling, giving him a rare blend of wet-lab imaging insight and computational data integration skills. His work is driven by a consistent aim to visualize mechanism at the molecular and tissue scales, informed by a PhD in Biochemistry and postdoctoral experience across South African and US institutions. Based in Durban, he combines deep domain expertise in structural biology with practical high-performance computing and bioinformatics experience developed during roles at CSIR and K-RITH.
