Matthew’s research focuses on the development and application of tools for accelerated continuous evolution within cells.  

He obtained both a BA and MSc in Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge, with specialisation in Biochemistry. During his master’s project, he developed a keen interest in methods for the directed evolution of biomolecules. This led him to pursue a PhD in the Chin lab, at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, before moving over to Oxford to join EIT.  

Outside of the lab, Matthew enjoys spending time outdoors, running competitively for the University, and playing guitar.
