Dr James Smith was a Resident Associate from 2008 until 2010. He worked as the Volkswagen Foundation-funded Research Fellow in Computational Systems Biology at the School of Engineering and Sciences (SES).

His research included the (time-dependent) modelling of enzyme reactions and networks. He explored self-organising (spatial and temporal) behaviour of intracellular metabolic and signalling pathways and their ligand-protein interactions.

In 2001, he started his postdoctoral research career in Computational Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge. In 2004, he moved to the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg  to develop a background in the theoretical chemistry of metabolic enzyme reactions and chemical biophysics of protein interactions. In 2007, James moved North and joined Jacobs University Bremen. Since 2007, he has also  taught Computational Biology and Biochemistry to graduate students on the JUB MoLife Graduate course and continued to supervise Masters project students and also co-supervise external PhD students.

When in Germany, James has been the International Representative for his former postgraduate college in Oxford, Wolfson College. He is happy to continue to provide postgraduate careers advice to final year and Masters students still at Mercator College, helping them with their specific postgraduate applications to Oxford and Cambridge Universities.
