Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Thompson is a postdoctoral research associate with eight years of interdisciplinary experience at the intersection of biophysics, quantitative biology, and software-driven bioinformatics. He completed a PhD at the University of Illinois focused on artificial metalloenzymes, combining structural techniques (X-ray diffraction/fluorescence), spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and protein design to probe how proteins catalyze complex reactions under ambient conditions. Prior roles in genomics software and bioinformatics at GenomOncology give him practical experience translating biological insight into clinical decision-support tools. Comfortable moving between wet-lab and computational environments, he brings a physicist’s quantitative rigor to molecular engineering problems and a track record of turning intricate assays into reproducible, analyzable data.
