Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWill Bradshaw is a Senior Research Scientist based in Cambridge, MA, with a decade of cross-disciplinary experience at the intersection of computational biology, ageing research, and biosecurity. He has led research programs from a Max Planck PhD on antibody immunity in a short-lived teleost through applied projects at the MIT Media Lab’s Sculpting Evolution Group and industry-focused biosecurity work at SecureBio. Comfortable moving between wet-lab questions and data-driven solutions, he has run competitions and consulted on biosecurity data science, demonstrating an ability to translate research insights into practical tools and policies. Will’s background blends rigorous genetics training with computational MPhil training from Cambridge, and an undercurrent of evolutionary thinking that informs his approach to complex biological systems. A pragmatic collaborator accustomed to academic and startup cultures, he often frames problems in novel ways—a trait reflected in his citation of D’Arcy Thompson and his work spanning organismal biology to synthetic-biology risk assessment.
