Top SchoolMatt Jackson-wood is a Principal Scientist in Bioinformatics with eight years of experience leading precision medicine teams at Gilead’s Oxford site and previously at MiroBio. He combines deep academic expertise in microbiome and host–microbiome interactions from a PhD and postdoc at top UK institutions with hands-on development of statistical and machine-learning pipelines for RNA-seq, immunology and microbiome integration. Matt has a track record of translating complex multi-omic analyses into actionable insights for immunology and inflammatory disease, and he now directs bioinformatics strategy in a drug-development setting. Based in Oxford, he is comfortable moving between hypothesis-driven research and production-focused analytic delivery, and his background suggests a particular strength in marrying population-scale microbiome studies with precision therapeutic approaches.
