Senior🎓
Top SchoolWarren Thompson is a Senior Computational Scientist at Diamond Light Source with eight years’ experience building automated fragment-progression technologies for fragment-based drug discovery. He leads development of Chemist Assisted Robotics (CAR) and an automated fragment progression platform that synthesizes hundreds of compounds per week and integrates with the open-source Fragalysis curation and job-execution ecosystem. His PhD in Chemical Engineering and background in process chemistry and flow systems underpin strengths in data analysis, nonlinear optimisation and lab-scale digitisation. Warren combines hands-on lab management with software-first automation, uniquely bridging experimental synthesis and algorithmic pipelines to accelerate hit-to-lead decisions. Based in the Vale of White Horse, he has a track record of translating academic tools into production-grade platforms used across XChem projects.
