From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Toby James Gibson is a group leader and
biochemist at the
European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in
Heidelberg
[1]
[3] known for his work on
Clustal .
[2]
[4] According to
Nature , Gibson's co-authored papers describing
Clustal
[4]
[5] are among the top ten most highly cited
scientific papers of all time.
[6]
Education
Gibson was educated at the
University of Edinburgh
[7] and went on to his
PhD at the
University of Cambridge in 1984 on the
genome of the
Epstein–Barr virus
[8] while working in the
Medical Research Council (MRC)
Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB).
[7]
Career and research
Gibson was a
postdoctoral
research fellow with
Sydney Brenner before moving to EMBL in 1986.
[7] He was appointed a staff scientist in 1991 and a team leader in 1996 where he has worked since.
Gibson’s research interests are in
computational biology ,
bioinformatics ,
short linear motifs ,
protein–protein interactions and biological
sequence alignment .
[1] His laboratory developed and hosts the
Eukaryotic Linear Motif (ELM) resource.
