Edward Curry

Biography

Curry leads the Bioinformatics Hub in the Division of Cancer at Imperial College. His research group works on the analysis of datasets from a wide range of platforms profiling the genetic, epigenetic and transcriptional state of cells during cancer development and acquisition of drug resistance. One aspect of this work involves development of methodology for the sophisticated integration of multiple molecular datasets. Another area of Ed's bioinformatics work focuses on identifying biologically informative patterns that exist within subsets of large, heterogeneous datasets. This is particularly important when studying cancers, as mechanisms of carcinogenesis and drug resistance are rarely conserved across across all patients with a particular disease, or indeed even across all cells from an individual tumour. Ed is senior tutor for the Cancer Informatics MRes programme, and lectures on courses across the Faculty of Medicine.
