Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Bentham is a Senior Research Fellow and bioinformatician with 11 years' experience applying computational methods to cancer evolution and the tumour immune microenvironment. Based at UCL, he develops and maintains bioinformatic software—drawing on a strong mathematics background (MSci, First Class) and an MRes in modelling biological complexity—to analyse large omics datasets and translate findings into experimentally testable hypotheses. His PhD work produced MCbiclust, an R biclustering package for transcriptomic analysis, reflecting a knack for creating reusable tools that bridge computational and wet-lab research. He has experience supporting drug discovery workflows and briefly explored biotech entrepreneurship through Entrepreneur First, giving him a practical perspective on translational impact. Quietly interdisciplinary, he combines rigorous algorithm development with hands-on lab understanding to tackle complex questions in mitochondrial regulation and tumour immunology.
