Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Frost is a Principal Scientist and infectious disease modeler with 14 years of experience translating pathogen evolution and epidemiology into operational biosurveillance and vaccine design. He splits his time between Microsoft Premonition and Microsoft Discovery—where he serves as a biology SME—and academic roles at LSHTM and previously Cambridge, building FAIR end-to-end modeling platforms that inform policy. As co-founder and Principal Data Scientist at DIOSynVax he applies bioinformatics and AI to design broadly reactive vaccine antigens for threats like Ebola, Lassa and influenza. A trained evolutionary virologist (ScD, Cambridge; PhD, Oxford), he pairs deep domain expertise with hands-on software engineering—publishing reproducible modeling code via GitHub (epirecipes) to bridge research and production. Notably, his work spans both within- and between-host dynamics, bringing evolutionary insight directly into operational public-health tools.
