 Terri Attwood is a biophysicist by training, having received her BSc and PhD from Leeds University in 1982 and 1984. As a postdoc, she became interested in protein sequence and structure analysis and, in 1993, was awarded a prestigious Royal Society University Research Fellowship to develop tools for computational analysis of protein families: the first 5 years of the fellowship were held at University College London, and the last 4 at the University of Manchester, where she became Professor of Bioinformatics in 2001.  Terri Attwood is a biophysicist by training, having received her BSc and PhD from Leeds University in 1982 and 1984.

-Her work on protein sequence analysis (especially of G protein-coupled receptors) led to the development  of various databases: e.g., PRINTS (www.bioinf.manchester.ac.uk/dbbrowser/PRINTS), InterPro (www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro), CADRE (www.cadre-genomes.org.uk/). She has also pioneered and co-developed a range of software tools: e.g., CINEMA/Utopia (utopia.cs.man.ac.uk/utopia/), MINOTAUR (www.bioinf.manchester.ac.uk/dbbrowser/minotaur/about.html), EMBER (www.ember.man.ac.uk/). +Her work on protein sequence analysis (especially of G protein-coupled receptors) led to the development  of various databases: e.g., PRINTS (www.bioinf.manchester.ac.uk/dbbrowser/PRINTS), InterPro (www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro), CADRE (www.cadre-genomes.org.uk).

-More recently, her interests have extended to semantic integration of research data with scholarly publications, in order to bring static documents to ‘life’. In particular, with Steve Pettifer, she ran a pilot project with Portland Press Ltd. to create the //Semantic Biochemical Journal// by embedding Utopia functionality directly into static PDF articles. The //Semantic BJ// was launched in 2009, powered by Utopia Documents (www.biochemj.org/bj/semantic_faq.htm/).+More recently, her interests have extended to semantic integration of research data with scholarly publications, in order to bring static documents to ‘life’.

-In her spare time, she Chairs EMBnet, the Global Bioinformatics Network (www.embnet.org/), and sits on the Executive Board of the International Society for Biocuration (http://biocurator.org/). She is currently Vice Chair of the COST Action NGS Data Analysis Network, SeqAhead (www.seqahead.eu/) and co-Chair of Working Group 4 of COST Action EuroKUP (www.eurokup.org/).  +In her spare time, she Chairs EMBnet, the Global Bioinformatics Network (www.embnet.org), and sits on the Executive Board of the International Society for Biocuration (http://biocurator.org).
