Jason Woodgate

Postdoctoral Research Associate | Newcastle University

Biochemist. Molecular biologist. Structural biologist. I study how transcription and translation couple in bacteria, and I build tools for the scientists doing the work.

Science

Postdoctoral research associate at the Centre for Bacterial Cell Biology, Newcastle University. Trained in biochemistry and molecular biology, my research focuses on the coupling of transcription and translation in bacteria, using structural biology to understand how the ribosome and RNA polymerase coordinate during gene expression.

Software

BenchCalc started because I got tired of the same bookmarked websites with their loading screens and ads. FeeDings! is an RSS reader. Influence is AI-powered interactive fiction. All made by Feedings Ltd, a small UK company I founded.
