Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Adelson is Professor Emeritus and a computational genomics leader whose work deciphers non-coding genome landscapes, transposable elements, and their evolutionary impact across diverse animal genomes. He led repeat DNA analyses for high-profile genome projects (cow, horse, elephant, tuatara) and developed de novo tools to annotate transposable elements, segmental duplications, and somatic structural variation from long-read data. His lab helped translate bioinformatics infrastructure into clinical diagnostics, enabling Australia’s first NATA-accredited diagnostic whole exome sequencing service, and he applies transcriptome network analysis to investigate molecular mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine in cancer. With decades spanning academia and research institutions (CSIRO, Texas A&M, University of Adelaide), he combines deep computational skill with translational impact and a track record of pioneering horizontal retrotransposon transfer studies.
