Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Studholme is an Associate Professor of genomics and bioinformatics at the University of Exeter with over a decade of academic leadership and eight years of focused experience in software-enabled biological research. He combines deep domain expertise in plant-pathogenic microbes with a strong computational background developed at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and The Sainsbury Laboratory, where he led bioinformatics support and contributed to major protein family resources. Trained with a PhD in Biochemistry from Imperial College and an MS with distinction in Biotechnology, he bridges wet-lab insight and scalable computational analyses to advance pathogen genomics. Known for integrating database-driven resources and teaching research students, he often translates complex genomic datasets into actionable insights for plant pathology research. An often-overlooked strength is his long-term commitment to building institutional bioinformatics capacity, not just individual analyses.
