Background

Matthew graduated with a BSc in Human Genetics (2007) and an MRes in Bioinformatics (2008) from Newcastle University. He then moved to Trinity College Dublin to complete a PhD in Genetics (2013), specialising in the analysis of ancient DNA. Matthew then held postdoctoral researcher positions at Trinity College Dublin, the University of York and the University of Cambridge. In 2023 he returned to Newcastle to join the Bioinformatics Support Unit.
