Sue Jones (computational biologist)

Susan Jones is a British computational biologist^[1] and bioinformatics group leader^[2] at the James Hutton Institute. Her work is specially focused on plant pathogen diagnostics, particularly virus diagnostics, using large datasets of RNA-Seq data. She also works on functional genomics, transcription regulation, protein-protein and protein-nucleic-acid interactions.^[2],[3]

In 1990, she received her Bachelor of Science in Biology^[2] from the University of York.^{[citation needed]}

In 1995, she earned her Doctor of Philosophy in Bioinformatics/^[2] Biochemistry from University College London.^{[citation needed]}

She began her scientific career as a research fellow at University College London, Cancer Research UK and EMBL-EBI.

She went on to hold bioinformatics lecturer and bioinformatics senior lecturer positions at the University of Sussex.^[3]

From 2011 to 2020, Jones was a senior scientist in computational biology at the James Hutton Institute^[4] in Dundee, United Kingdom. Since 2020, she is the bioinformatics group leader there.^[2]

Jones has over 60 publications.^[5] Some of them have been cited over 3000 times each.^[6]
