Dr Matt Bawn

Biography

Dr Matt Bawn began my undergraduate studies studying physics at the University College of Wales Aberystwyth. After this he then worked in industry for a number of years in the field of high-field superconducting magnet manufacture, before returning to university in 2007 to undertake postgraduate research. He was awarded my PhD in 2012 by the School of Chemistry of the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Biochemical magnetic resonance spectroscopy. He continued working in this area of spectroscopy during my first post-doctoral position at Brooklyn College CUNY (Rick Magliozzo) in New York as well as applying various computational chemistry techniques. After this he worked in the Centre for Genetics and Molecular Biology in the Faculty of Human Medicine at the University of San Martin de Porres in Lima, Peru (Ricardo Fujita). He was responsible for the creation of a bioinformatics facility to enable the lab to work with large scale high-throughput genetic data. Currently he is a bioinformatician working between the Neil Hall Group at Earlham Institute and the Rob Kingsley’s group at the Quadram Institute focusing on adaptive evolution in Salmonella.
