Jason Woodgate

BBSRC Research Fellow | Newcastle University

Biochemist and structural biologist. I work on ribosome inhibition by tRNA interference, and on how transcription and translation couple in bacteria. I write software too.

Science

BBSRC Research Fellow at the Centre for Bacterial Cell Biology, Newcastle University. My fellowship looks at ribosome inhibition by tRNA interference. I also carry on my work on the coupling of transcription and translation in bacteria, using structural biology to work out 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.
