A new journal of quantitative biosciences from nano to macro
Professor Philip Day
Philip Day graduated with a PhD degree from the Wolfson Research Laboratories, University of Birmingham, UK. In 1995-1997 at Oxford University he developed very high throughput PCR for the Human Genome Mapping Project, Wellcome Trust. This was followed by novel studies related to high throughput sequencing and gene micro-arrays with Prof Sir Edwin Southern. Later he established a Functional Genomics Unit, at the Kinderspital, University of Zurich. His studies employ innovative strategies to enable precise quantitative measurements of nucleic acids (often incorporating miniaturisation and microfluidics) which are related to meaningful biomedical interpretation. His studies aim to help unravel the complexities of tissue heterogeneity and contribute to the increased applications of systems biology. In 2004 he was elected to Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and in 2006 he was made Principal Investigator at the Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre. Between 2006-7 he was appointed visiting Professor of Applied Molecular Biology and Biochemistry with the Institute for Spectrometry and Spectrochemistry, Dortmund, Germany. He is presently Reader in Quantitative Analytical Genomics, University of Manchester, UK.
