Michele Clamp has a first degree in Physics from the University of Oxford and then escaped to Manchester University for a PhD in experimental solid state physics. Another 3 years were blissfully spent in Manchester after transferring to the Biochemistry department for a post-doc developing novel molecular dynamics algorithms with Andy Brass. The return to the South could no longer be avoided when she joined Geoff Barton's group in October 95 ostensibly to work at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics. She got her feet under a desk there after a year's wait and worked on the location of genes in genomic human DNA. She moved to the EBI in December 1997 where she worked on the Java multiple alignment analysis tool JalView as well as a CORBA interface to the Pfam alignment database. In January 1999 she moved to the Sanger Centre in order to develop analysis tools for the annotation of the Human Genome.
What she does in her spare time is her own business but none of it involves throwing herself willy-nilly out of aeroplanes.

G P S Raghava
Raghava did his M.Sc in Physics and M.Tech in Computers from IIT Delhi, INDIA. He did his Ph.D. in Computer-Aided Protein Structure Prediction. Presently, he is on leave from his department (Bioinformatics Centre, Institute of Microbial Technology Chandigarh, INDIA), where he is working as a scientist. He has joined the group in August, 1996. Raghava returned to his job in India at the end of July 1998.

Richard Copley
Richard completed his first degree in Chemistry, in Oxford in 1993. He did his undergraduate research project Phosphate Binding Sites in Proteins in this group. He started research on an MRC funded studentship in October 1993. His work is on the prediction of protein structure using fold recognition techniques.
In March 1997, Richard moved to SmithKline Beecham at Harlow to work in the Bioinformatics group. In October 1998, Rich moved on to the Bork group at EMBL Heidelberg.

Asim Siddiqui
Asim completed his first degree in Physics at Cambridge in 1992. He joined the group in October 1993 on a Science and Engineering Research Council studentship, after working for some time in industry.
Asim is a member of Worcester College MCR.
Asim completed his Thesis on protein structural domains and the 3Dee domains database in April 1997. In May 1997 he moved on to a job in industry in Vancouver, Canada.

Craig Livingstone
Craig took his first degree in Biochemistry at the University of Kent at Canterbury. He came to Oxford in 1991 to take up a Medical Research Council studentship and completed his D.Phil. Thesis entitled: Pattern recognition and protein structure prediction from aligned amino acid sequences in July 1995.
Craig's main research interests have been in protein secondary structure prediction and conservation analysis of multiple protein sequence alignments. He submitted his D.Phil thesis on 9th June 1995 and is now working at SmithKline Beecham in Harlow, UK. Aside from the research, Craig is(was?) an active member of the Oxford University Gliding Club. He attended the Meeting on the Critical Assessment of Techniques for Protein Structure Prediction.

Rob Russell
Rob did his first degree in Chemistry at Queens University, Kingston, Canada. He came to Oxford on a Commonwealth Scholarship in October 1990 and completed his D.Phil. Thesis Computer Analysis of Protein Sequence and Structure in October 1993. He is currently a Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 Fellow, and From 1 September 1994 has been an ICRF Fellow working with Mike Sternberg at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund Laboratories, Lincoln's Inn Fields, P.O. Box 123, London, WC2A 3PX. (Fax: 071-269-3417)
Rob. now manages the Sternberg Group web pages and has contributed his Guide to Protein Structure Prediction to the WWW.
Rob. moved on again in March 1997. He is now a senior scientist at SmithKline Beecham, Harlow, UK.
Rob lists his other interests as classified.

Andras Fiser
Andras was a visiting student from the Institute of Enzymology in Budapest, Hungary. He obtained his university diploma in chemistry from Eotvos Lorand University, Budapest in 1991. He was funded in Oxford for 9 months on a George Soros Fellowship (the same who (nearly) broke the bank of England).
Andras enjoys climbing mountains, wine, women and fast cars. Probably. Andras has returned to Hungary, and can be reached at the Institute of Enzymology, Biological Research Center, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, P.O. Box 7, Budapest 1518, Hungary. (email). Andras is currently (1998/99) working with Andrej Sali at the Rockefeller University in New York, USA.
