Christopher Paul Ponting is a British
computational biologist, specializing in the
evolution and function of
genes and
genomes. He is currently Chair of Medical Bioinformatics at the
University of Edinburgh and group leader in the
MRC Human Genetics Unit. He is also an Associate Faculty member of the
Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences, member of the European Molecular Biology Organisation and Fellow of the
Royal Society of Edinburgh.[2] His research focuses on long noncoding RNA function and evolution, on single cell biology and on disease genomics.[3][4][5][6][7][8] Outside of science, Chris is an amateur novelist and wrote an unpublished, science fiction novel about engineered viruses.[9]
