Eduardo Eyras
Director at ANU Shine-Dalgarno Centre for RNA Innovation
Canberra, Australia
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEduardo Eyras is a Director and EMBL Australia Group Leader who has spent more than two decades at the nexus of computational RNA biology, machine learning, and translational therapeutics. He founded and led pioneering efforts in splicing analysis, RNA structure, and protein–RNA interaction prediction, producing tools and datasets that have become widely used to study cancer-related RNA regulation. Eduardo builds and directs interdisciplinary teams that translate computational discoveries into molecule design and next-generation medicines, emphasizing inclusive, collaborative lab cultures. Trained originally in theoretical and mathematical physics, he brings a rare blend of deep theoretical rigor and practical bioinformatics engineering to biological problems. Based in Canberra, he combines academic leadership at ANU with entrepreneurial translation through the Shine-Dalgarno Centre for RNA Innovation. A less obvious thread in his career is a consistent trajectory from fundamental theory (string/M-theory) to concrete genomic tools, reflecting an aptitude for reframing abstract problems into impactful computational solutions.
