Stephen George Oliver FMedSci FAAAS (born 3 November 1949) is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge,[13] director of the Cambridge Systems Biology Centre[14] and a Fellow of Wolfson College, Cambridge.[2][15]

Education

Oliver was educated at the University of Bristol gaining a Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology in 1971 followed by a PhD from the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) in 1974.[16]

Research

Oliver's areas of research include functional genomics, systems biology[17][18][19][20][21] and drug discovery[22][23][24][25][26][27] using the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae[28] which he has worked on since the 1970s.[29] In 1992, whilst working at UMIST, Oliver led the team which provided first complete sequence analysis of an entire chromosome from any organism.[30] More recently he has also been involved in the creation of a Robot Scientist[12][31] and has been awarded research funding as principal investigator or co-investigator with a total value of over £26 million by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.[32]
