About

Jonathan is an expert in computation of the structure, function and interactions of proteins (receptors, transporters, enzymes etc.) at whole genome / proteome scale, and linking this to health and disease and drug discovery. He heads up a research group and spin-out company at Swansea University Medical School, working on innovative academic research and commercial R&D in Structural Bioinformatics, applied to a broad range of biological problems, including a current Innovate UK funded project focused on development of an antiviral drug screening platform for Covid-19. The research is getting ahead of the virus by modelling hypothetical variants and structural changes, targeting new strains before they happen.

Areas Of Expertise

Structural Bioinformatics
Artificial Intelligence
Supercomputing
Drug Discovery
Platform Development

Career Highlights

Teaching Interests

Jonathan lectures on the Graduate Entry Medicine course (biochemistry, metabolism, genetics, physiology, and molecular pathology – particularly relating to the intestine, and leads the Nutrition theme). He also teaches on the Physician Associate programme (endocrinology), the BSc Genetics / Biochemistry course (bioinformatics) and BSc Applied Medical Sciences (neuroendocrinology) and supervises third year projects for those courses.
