Professor Dr. Simon Hubbard

Biography

Simon Hubbard is a Professor of Computational Biology at the University of Manchester, where he leads research focused on the application of computational approaches to the study of biological systems. With a PhD in Biochemistry from University College London and a background at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, he has contributed significantly to the field of bioinformatics and systems biology. His research involves quantifying protein expression through advanced mass spectrometry techniques, particularly in model organisms such as yeast and Drosophila. He has developed advanced algorithms for protein identification and quantification, which bridge experimental data with protein sequence databases. Simon's work also extends to developing bionformatic tools that assist in analyzing developmental proteomes and annotating genome sequences. He is actively involved in teaching post-genome biology and biocomputing to undergraduate and MSc students, equipping future scientists with necessary skills in computational biology.
