Sam Lipworth

World class lasher, a very proud Scottish gentleman (even though he sounds like a posh Englishman). Enjoys golf avidly and has a mature sense of humour with a touch of cynicism.

Charlie Thompson

Dr. V Anne Smith

Anne's research is in the field of computational biology. She examines complex biological networks, developing and evaluating algorithms to infer functional interactions based upon observational data. She works many levels of biological organisation, concentrating on networks in molecular, neuronal, and ecological systems. Her current research concentrates on the use of Bayesian networks to infer interactions in these biological systems.

Dr. John Mitchell

John is interested in anything computational and related to molecules. After a PhD in theoretical chemistry, his first postdoc was in Biochemistry at UCL. He has been a lecturer at Birkbeck and at Cambridge, before coming to St Andrews in 2009. Since then, he has done lots of chemoinformatics, quite a lot of bioinformatics and only a little real theoretical chemistry. His scientific interests include computing the binding affinities between proteins and ligands, side-effects and toxicities of pharmaceuticals, and how much of a compound will dissolve in water. His group have worked extensively on the prediction of molecular properties such as melting point and solubility from chemical structure. They also use computational methods to study enzyme reaction mechanisms. They continue to develop the MACiE database of enzyme reaction mechanisms in collaboration with Prof. Janet Thornton at the EMBL-EBI.
