Richard Edwards is an Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), focusing on the molecular basis of evolutionary change and the functional application of genetic sequences. He began his academic career as a geneticist, modeling transposable elements in bacterial populations. After obtaining his PhD, he transitioned to bioinformatics, specifically protein sequence analysis. His postdoctoral work in Dublin led to the development of bioinformatics methods for designing biologically active short peptides and coined the term 'Short Linear Motif' (SLiM) for specific protein interaction motifs. Edwards has built a strong research profile in genomics, particularly in assembly and analysis of genomes from various species, including venomous snakes and marsupials. His active collaboration with the Ramaciotti Centre for Genomics at UNSW has enabled substantial advancements in genomic research, contributing to major initiatives like Oz Mammals Genomics and Australian Plants.
