Top SchoolMalcolm Fisher is a research associate and experienced biocurator at Xenbase with nine years in data curation and a PhD in Biology from the University of York. He specializes in integrating gene expression, phenotype annotations, Gene Ontology, and high-throughput GEO datasets for the Xenopus community, drawing on prior curation work in mouse and imaging datasets like FaceBase. Trained as a developmental wet-lab scientist, he brings practical expertise in 3D image analysis and comparative embryonic expression across frog, chick, and mouse systems. His background includes postdoctoral research at multiple UK institutions where he combined wet-lab experiments with computational curation, notably on 3D expression pattern comparisons and methylation studies. Based in Cincinnati, he blends domain knowledge and technical curation methods to make complex developmental datasets FAIR and more usable for researchers.
