Richard J Edwards
Rich Edwards received his PhD in genetics from the University of Nottingham before working as a postdoc in The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and University College Dublin on protein bioinformatics. He has been leading his own molecular evolution and bioinformatics group since 2007 when he took up a faculty position at the University of Southampton. In November 2013 he moved to the University of New South Wales, Sydney, to take up a position as Senior Lecturer in Bioinformatics. Rich has written a number of open source bioinformatics tools available as part of the SLiMSuite and SeqSuite packages, including several webservers in collaboration with the Shields lab in UCD, available at bioware.ucd.ie. The core research in the lab is the study of Short Linear Motifs (SLiMs), which are short regions of proteins that mediate interactions with other proteins.
