A recording of the inaugural lecture showcase from the Institute of Genetics and Cancer. Professors Joe Marsh & Colin Semple from the Institute of Genetics and Cancer shared their career and research journey so far.Joe Marsh is Professor of Computational Protein Biology at the Institute of Genetics & Cancer, University of Edinburgh. His research combines protein structure, functional genomics, and computational modelling to study how genetic variation affects biological systems. He works closely with experimental scientists and clinicians to develop approaches for interpreting genomic data and improving genetic diagnosis.Colin Semple is Professor of Computational Biology at the Institute of Genetics and Cancer and Head of Bioinformatics at the MRC Human Genetics Unit. His group provides computational leadership for large cancer genomics programmes, working closely with experimental scientists and NHS Scotland clinicians. Trained in population genetics, he established his group in 2001 to analyse the first human genome sequences, and his work has since focused on how genomic variation drives human disease, particularly cancer.
