Dr Andrew Dowsey (MEng PhD) - personal details

Dr Dowsey is Lecturer in Bioinformatics at the School of Biomedicine, University of Manchester, and Bioinformatics Research Lead for the Centre for Advanced Discovery & Experimental Therapeutics, a joint venture between the University of Manchester and the NIHR Manchester Biomedical Research Centre.

Previously, Dr. Dowsey held an EPSRC Overseas Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Life Sciences Interface entitled 'High-throughput Differential Expression Proteomics' (EP/E03988X/1). Whilst based at Imperial College London, he was a visiting reseacher at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and the Conway Institute, University College Dublin. Previously, he completed postdoctoral training in Cardiovascular Image Analysis with the Royal Society/Wolfson Medical Image Computing Laboratory at Imperial College London.

Dr Dowsey's main research interests include:

• Statistical signal and image modelling, restoration and registration, with application to biological separations (e.g. LC-MS, MS Imaging, 2-DE) and medical imaging (e.g. MRI, CT, PET) data.

• Cross-scale integration and modelling of proteomics, metabolomics and clinical trials data.

• Service-based and high-throughput technologies for managing and accelerating computation (web services and databases with parallel computing through the Grid and GPUs).
