Summary
Joseph Ellaway is a bioinformatician based in Cambridge with 11 years of experience building tools that bridge computational methods and molecular biology. He develops clustering algorithms for protein conformational states at the PDBe within EMBL-EBI, bringing rigorous MSc-level bioinformatics training and a first-class biochemistry background to production software for structural biology. His early wet-lab roles in neurobiology and molecular biochemistry give him practical insight into experimental workflows, which informs his approach to reproducible, biology-aware code. In parallel he tutors A-level and GCSE students and has co-founded and served as treasurer of an academic computational biology society, reflecting a commitment to teaching and community-building. Humble but methodical, he combines hands-on lab experience with algorithmic work to turn complex structural data into usable scientific software.
