Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartyn Winn is a computational biology leader with over two decades of experience bridging theoretical chemistry, physics and high-performance biological computing at STFC. He leads a national team developing methods and software across crystallography, cryo-EM, neutron reflectometry and macromolecular simulation, with funding partnerships spanning MRC, BBSRC, EPSRC and EU programmes. Trained at Cambridge and Oxford (D.Phil. in Theoretical Chemistry), he combines deep modelling expertise with hands-on scientific software development and HPC systems design through initiatives like CCP4, CCP-EM and CCPBioSim. Martyn’s group also supports national scientific networks and training, reflecting his dual role as a technical innovator and community enabler. An early career in theoretical physics and numerical schemes for liquid metals gives him an uncommon cross-disciplinary perspective that informs practical solutions for data-intensive biology.
