Dr Thomas Gorochowski is a Royal Society University Research Fellow, Turing Fellow and Co-Director of the Bristol BioDesign Institute.
Coming from a background in computer science, he has since transitioned into the area of bioengineering, working across both industry as a Marie Curie Fellow at DSM in the Netherlands and academia as part of the Synthetic Biology Centre at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the USA.
In 2016, he founded his research group at the University of Bristol, with the aim of better understanding the computational architecture of biological systems to more rationally reprogram biology and is currently establishing the national ‘CYBER’ project to help de-risk environmental applications of synthetic biology.
