Simon Hubbard PhD

Simon Hubbard is a Professor in the Faculty of Biology, Medicine, and Health at the University of Manchester. His scientific career has taken him from a PhD in Biochemistry at UCL, London, via the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, back to Manchester in the UK where he undertook a Wellcome Trust fellowship, before gaining a Lectureship in 1998. His research covers themes in computational and systems biology and bioinformatics. The research applies computational approaches to the study of biological systems and molecules, and his particular areas of interest are detailed below, broadly in the areas of protein and genome bioinformatics including quantitative proteomics, regulation of gene expression (and particularly translation from mRNA to protein), and general bioinformatics.
