Nick studied biology at Imperial College, and has a DPhil in genomics/bioinformatics from Oxford. Since then, he has worked on research to understand the genetics of obesity, type-2 diabetes and heart disease.
Nick now works in a leukaemia group at the Institute of Cancer Research (Sutton) where they are trying to improve diagnosis and treatment of various types of leukaemias. His work uses biology, computers and statistics, trying to bring together information in a useful way - a bit of a Macgyver of biomedical research! In his spare time Nick is a bit of a movie buff and loves being outdoors - especially walking, which he finds relaxing and gives him time to think!
"NESTA FameLab has a friendly and warm atmosphere, even when I stood up in front of the judges and the abject terror kicked in - I can't think of anything negative. Feedback from the judges was encouraging and friendly and even when they were trying to be more probing at the final they were amiable and positive. The masterclass was an excellent addition, it gave me a lot to think about before my second talk but I think it helped."
