Delivered an Immunogenic Breadth Prediction Tool (IBPT) tool for IAVI and Imperial that evaluates virus proteome diversity (SARS_CoV_2 and HIV to date). Web (Rails) user interface to a PostgreSQL database on Unix server running NetMHCpan simulations and bespoke Python analysis programs. Large quantities of NetMHCpan simulations were run on multiple low cost virtual Unix cloud servers.   

NEWS: Security

David completed an Information Security MSc from Royal Holloway, with focus on software security. Project involved demonstrating cheap (Raspberry Pi Zero) hardware and P4wnPi (with bespoke Python enhancements) to remotely obtain Windows 10 PC stored plaintext passwords from the PC, Chrome and IE. For less than £15 pounds of hardware and a few seconds access to your home or office, someone can readily steal your passwords. Escort guests in your office and buy a good Password Manager!
