Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnton Enright is a Professor of RNA Biology and Genomics based in Cambridge with nine years of senior academic experience and a long track record of leading multidisciplinary labs at top institutes including EMBL and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. He combines wet-lab molecular biology with computational genomics to dissect how non-coding RNAs, microRNAs and RNA modifications shape gene expression, development and disease. He directs a genomics core facility, supervises teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and runs a research group integrating bioinformatics, next‑generation sequencing and experimental validation. Early roles in high-performance computing and founding a genomics company give him uncommon fluency in both computational infrastructure and translational research. His work frequently bridges basic RNA biology and applied genomics, exploring subtle regulatory layers such as piRNAs and lncRNAs that are often overlooked. Trained with a PhD in Computational Genomics from Cambridge and a first-class Natural Sciences BA, he brings deep quantitative skills to complex biological problems.
