Carole Anne Goble, FREng,[8] FBCS[9], CITP[10] is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Manchester[11][12] in the UK. She is Principal Investigator (PI) of the myGrid,[13] BioCatalogue[14] and myExperiment[15] projects.

Her academic career has been spent at the School of Computer Science at the University of Manchester. She gained her Bachelor of Science degree in computing and information systems from 1979[16] to 1982, joined the academic staff in 1985, and became a professor in 2000.[17]

Her current research interests[18] include Grid computing, the Semantic Grid,[19] the Semantic Web, Ontologies,[20][21] e-Science, medical informatics[22] and Bioinformatics. She applies advances in knowledge technologies and workflow systems to solve information management problems for life scientists and other scientific disciplines. She has successfully secured funding from the European Union, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in the US and most UK funding agencies including the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council,[23] Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council,[24] Medical Research Council (UK), the Department of Health (United Kingdom), The OMII-UK and the Department of Trade and Industry.[25]

Carole was recipient of the first Jim Gray e-Science Award in December 2008. Tony Hey, corporate vice president of Microsoft External Research who sponsored the award, said Goble was chosen for the award because of her work to help scientists do data-intensive science through the Taverna workbench.
