Gareth Price is a scientist and software engineer.
I'm a Principal Scientist at Oxford Biomedica, where I build lab automation, data pipelines, and digital infrastructure for gene therapy manufacturing.
My postdoctoral research was in diabetic kidney disease — I have 7 peer-reviewed publications and still review grants for Diabetes UK. In my spare time I build open-source data tools and iOS apps.
