Peter joined HDR UK in June this year to support our Chief Technology Officer Emily Jefferson, focusing on convening the technology ecosystem and embedding a collaborative approach to data infrastructure that promotes open science and interoperability.

Peter came to HDR UK after almost a decade at the EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute, where he led the Genome Analysis team on large collaborative research data projects, such as the European Nucleotide Archive, Ensembl Genome Browser, and COVID-19 Data Portal.  Peter previously held research positions at University College London and Oxford University, working on genomics and transcriptome evolution.
