Andrew M. Brass is a Professor of Bioinformatics at the University of Manchester in the Department of Computer Science and Faculty of Life Sciences.

Education

Brass was educated at the University of Edinburgh, receiving his PhD on Solid-state physics in 1987.[1]

Research

Following his PhD, Brass worked at McMaster University[2] [3] 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[4] [5] 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,[6] automated curation,[7] and bioinformatics education.[8]
