Dr Benjamin Jefferys

Imperial College
London

Research Associate in the Structural Bioinformatics Group at the Imperial College Centre for Bioinformatics. Developing Poing, a physical model for protein structure prediction, funded by the BBSRC (grant reference).

I have a peripheral but growing interest in biological and scientific visualisation. All graphics and videos shown below have been generated using software I have written (occasionally with a little finesse added courtesy of Adobe AfterEffects). If you think I can help with your visualisation problem, please get in touch! Contact details at the bottom of this page.
