Edward Morrissey
Background
I studied Physics (5 year degree) at the , specialising in theoretical physics. After my degree I worked for a year in industry (programmer and SAP consultant). I have also worked on Nuclear Physics (), Theoretical Neuroscience () and Bioinformatics ().
PhD
I am working on Bayesian gene regulatory network inference in Streptomyces coelicolor. The project is part of , a European project involving research groups from UK, Germany, Holland, Spain and Norway.
Visiting Scholar
From April to October I was a visiting scholar at the .
PhD Supervisors
My PhD supervisors are (main supervisor) and
