Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Thorpe is an experienced bioinformatician and data scientist with 11 years applying computational approaches to genomics, transcriptomics and metagenomics across UK research institutes. He currently works in the Data Analysis Group at the University of Dundee, providing collaborative bioinformatics consulting, developing analysis pipelines in Python and R, and supporting HPC resources to accelerate multidisciplinary projects. Peter combines a PhD in molecular biology and bioinformatics with hands-on skills in statistical analysis, software development and teaching, regularly delivering workshops to researchers and postgraduate students. His publication record—listed on ResearchGate and tied to projects he supports—reflects contributions to high-impact collaborative research and grant proposals. Comfortable translating complex biological questions into reproducible workflows, he also brings practical experience managing computational infrastructure and mentoring lab teams. A detail that often surprises collaborators is his consistent role bridging day-to-day analysis with grant strategy, meaning he helps shape projects from experimental design through to published results.
