Summary
👤
SeniorAnton Petrov is a director-level RNA bioinformatician with 16 years of experience building community resources and tools for non-coding RNA, including founding RNAcentral, leading Rfam development, and creating R2DT—the first automated system for consistent RNA secondary structure visualization. He combines scientific rigor from a PhD in RNA 3D motifs with hands-on engineering, having produced widely used databases, search services, and analysis pipelines at EMBL-EBI and elsewhere. As founder of Riboscope Ltd he now consults for RNA therapeutics startups and VCs, delivering scalable cloud pipelines and interactive web apps that translate academic methods into production-ready tools. Notably, his work spans both 3D motif classification and reproducible visualization, a rare blend that accelerates structural interpretation across research and industry.
