ICR

Dr James Wright is a Principal Bioinformatician in the Functional Proteomics Group at the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR). He has many years of experience as an expert in genomics and proteomics research. Specialising in proteogenomics and personal proteomics, he uses advanced computational and machine learning techniques in the investigation of multi-omics datasets to explore cancer development and the impact of novel cancer therapies. In 2010, James was awarded his PhD in Techniques for Cross Species Proteomics jointly by the University of Manchester and University of Liverpool. He then joined the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and worked as part of the international GENCODE Project which is responsible for the comprehensive annotation of human and mouse genomes. James joined Professor Jyoti Choudhary’s Functional Proteomics team at the ICR in 2017. Where he leads, supervises, and supports proteogenomic research in the group and across the ICR. Developing cutting-edge high-throughput pipelines and technologies for genomic, proteomic, and immunopeptidomic data analysis, and deploying them in cancer research. Additionally, James is a Visiting Scientist at the European Bioinformatics Institute working with the PRIDE Proteomics Identification Database group on large scale proteogenomic workflows.
