Toby James Gibson is a group leader and biochemist at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg [1] [3] known for his work on Clustal. [2] [4] According to Nature, Gibson's co-authored papers describing Clustal [4] [5] are among the top ten most highly cited scientific papers of all time. [6]
Gibson was educated at the University of Edinburgh [7] and went on to his PhD at the University of Cambridge in 1984 on the genome of the Epstein–Barr virus [8] while working in the Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB). [7]
Gibson was a postdoctoral research fellow with Sydney Brenner before moving to EMBL in 1986. [7] He was appointed a staff scientist in 1991 and a team leader in 1996 where he has worked since.
Gibson’s research interests are in computational biology, bioinformatics, short linear motifs, protein–protein interactions and biological sequence alignment. [1] His laboratory developed and hosts the Eukaryotic Linear Motif (ELM) resource. [9]
