Nicholas Goldman is a group leader, joint head of research, and senior scientist at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), located on the Wellcome Genome Campus in Hinxton, Cambridgeshire, England . He began working at the EBI in 2002, and became a senior scientist there in 2009.[1] His group's research focuses on evolutionary genetics and genomics.[2] He and his EBI colleague Ewan Birney, along with other researchers, developed a tool for DNA digital data storage, on which they successfully encoded all the sonnets of William Shakespeare, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, a PDF of the 1953 paper "Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid", and a photo of their own institute. They described their results in a 2013 paper in Nature.[3][4][5][6]
