Andrew M. Brass is a Professor of Bioinformatics at the University of Manchester in the Department of Computer Science and Faculty of Life Sciences.[1][2][3][4][5]

Education

Brass was educated at the University of Edinburgh, receiving his PhD on Solid-state physics in 1987.[6]

Research

Following his PhD, Brass worked at McMaster University[7][8] in Canada on a NATO fellowship to study aspects of high-temperature superconductivity and strongly coupled electron systems. In 1990 he moved to the University of Manchester[9][10] to become a founding member of the bioinformatics group, where he has a wide range of projects in protein function prediction, gene expression analysis, intelligent integration,[11] automated curation,[12] and bioinformatics education.[13]
