Senior🎓
Top SchoolRussell Hamilton is a translational omics leader with a decade of experience bridging academic research and pharma, now serving as Director, Translational Omics at GSK and a Visiting Researcher at the University of Cambridge. He builds and leads bioinformatics cores and multi-disciplinary teams to integrate multi-omics, epigenetics, and RNA structure insights into target discovery, patient stratification, and precision medicine. His academic track record includes developing novel RNA/DNA structure prediction methods and tools for large-scale RNA-Seq, methylation and imaging analyses from roles at Cambridge, Oxford and Edinburgh. At Cambridge he founded and scaled a cross-institute bioinformatics core supporting 30+ groups and managed cost recovery via grants and service models. He combines hands-on method development with translational impact—holding patents on nucleic acid sequencing enhancements—and routinely collaborates across wet-lab and computational disciplines. Based in Cambridge, UK, he pairs a PhD in Bioinformatics with proven success translating molecular mechanism into drug discovery decision-making.
