Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']'). Alexander George Bateman is a computational biologist and Head of Protein Sequence Resources at EMBL-EBI.[11][12] He has led the development of the Pfam biological database[13] and introduced the Rfam database of RNA families. He has also been involved in the use of Wikipedia for community-based annotation of biological databases.[14][15][16][17][18][19]

Education

Bateman received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from Newcastle University in 1994. He received his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1997, for research supervised by Cyrus Chothia[20][21] on the evolution of the immunoglobulin protein superfamily.[22][23] During this time, he also worked with Sean Eddy to discover novel protein domains using the HMMER software.[24]

Research

In 1997, Bateman joined the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute to lead the development of the Pfam biological database. In 2003, he introduced the Rfam database of RNA families.[9][24] He was also involved in providing protein analysis for the publication of the human genome.[24][25]

As of 2012, he has been Head of Protein Sequence Resources at EMBL-EBI.[26]

Bateman has also been involved in promoting the use of Wikipedia within the science community[27] and in particular, community-based annotation of biological databases through Wikipedia, for example, annotation of the Rfam database through WikiProject RNA.[28]

Awards and honours

Bateman was awarded the 2010 Benjamin Franklin Award in bioinformatics.[29][30] He became the third former member of Richard Durbin's lab to win the award, following Sean Eddy and Ewan Birney.[29][31]

Bateman was Executive Editor of the journal Bioinformatics from 2004 to 2012 and has also served as Editor of Nucleic Acids Research, Genome Biology and Current Protocols in Bioinformatics.[5][6] In 2014, he was appointed one of the first Honorary Editors of Bioinformatics.[32] As of 2015, Bateman also serves on the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) Board of Directors.[33]
