Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Mccorkindale is a Senior ML Research Scientist with nine years of experience applying deep learning to drug discovery, currently advancing Isomorphic Labs’ mission to "Solve All Disease." He completed a Gates-funded PhD at Cambridge under Dr Alpha Lee, where he developed ML methods for synthesis planning, virtual screening, and fragment-based design, and interned at DeepMind extending AlphaFold’s capabilities. His work bridges rigorous physics-based training and practical cheminformatics—previously deploying DragonFold for virtual screens against traditionally undruggable targets at CHARM Therapeutics. A Cambridge MSci physicist with diverse research internships from Caltech to Max Planck and HKU, he pairs strong theoretical grounding with hands-on model implementation and experimental collaboration. Outside the lab he’s organized interdisciplinary science initiatives and performed as a trumpet player, reflecting a blend of leadership, creativity, and technical depth.
