Hello, I'm a computational biology PhD student in the Semple group at the Institute of Genetics and Molecular Medicine (IGMM), part of the University of Edinburgh. My doctoral thesis centres around integrating genomic datasets to gain novel insights into the organisation principles of the 3D human genome. During my PhD I have published a number of papers detailed below, and presented my work at international conferences. This is a brief CV, so please contact me at the above email address for more information. Benjamin L.
