Simon Hubbard

Simon Hubbard is Professor of Computational Biology and Head of School (Biological Sciences) at the University of Manchester. His research focuses on computational approaches to biological systems, particularly in proteomics and bioinformatics.

His main research areas include quantitative proteomics for characterizing protein levels in cells and tissues, genome and transcriptome sequence analysis including proteogenomics, and developing bioinformatics tools for experimental design and data analysis. His work uses model systems like yeast and fruit flies to understand fundamental biological processes.

Professor Hubbard teaches undergraduate and MSc courses in post-genome biology and biocomputing, covering topics such as transcriptomics, proteomics, programming for bioscientists, and computational biology algorithms.
