Andrew Skelton is a Head of Bioinformatics with 12 years' experience applying computational and multi-omic approaches to disease understanding, target discovery, and indication prioritisation, currently leading teams at a stealth biotech after senior roles at UCB. Trained in computer science and bioinformatics (MSc), he blends Linux and functional R programming expertise with deep hands-on knowledge of genetics, RNA-seq, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics from sample prep through interpretation. He has a track record of postulating early target hypotheses and advancing translational projects in immunology and immunodermatology, turning complex genomic data into actionable research decisions. Comfortable bridging research and production, he has supported academic groups, trained scientists in command-line and R, and automated analytical workflows to reduce error and accelerate insight. Colleagues know him for pairing rigorous computational thinking with curiosity about biology — a combination that drives pragmatic discovery of transformative treatments.
