DESCRIPTION:Gos Micklem did his PhD on yeast at the MRC Laboratory of Mole
 cular Biology in  Cambridge and before\, during and after his post-doc at 
 the ICRF in London he was distracted by Drosophila in Maria Leptin’s lab
  in Tubingen. He then joined the young Sanger Centre where he was responsi
 ble for setting up high throughput human genome sequence analysis when no-
 one ( including himself) knew how to do it. After three years he left the 
 Sanger Centre for a Cambridge mouse (later human) genetics biotech start-u
 p where he was part of the founding management group and headed the bioinf
 ormatics group. \n\nFour years later he re-joined the academic world at th
 e Genetics Department in Cambridge doing more bioinformatics. Since 2004 h
 e has been a member of both the Genetics Department and the Department of 
 Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics where despite not being a math
 ematician or a physicist he is the Director of the Cambridge Computational
  Biology Institute.    \n
