He is a graduate of Imperial College, London, holds a PhD in Organic Chemistry from Cambridge University, and spent two years as a NATO postdoctoral fellow and Fulbright-Hays travel scholar at Stanford University in California and Columbia University in New York.
Keith’s most recent role was as Senior Vice-President of Drug Discovery at a San Francisco Bay Area-based biotech company, insitro, applying machine learning to the challenges of discovering new medicines.

He shoots primarily with Leica cameras and lenses, as well as third party gear within the L-Mount ecosystem. Keith has recently begun to try his hand at rangefinder photography.
