physiology of vertebrate animals. After a PhD with Ken Bowler in Durham
University, UK, in 1974 he spent two postdoctoral years in University of
Illinois, USA, working with Ladd Prosser, one of the great figures in
comparative animal physiology . In 1976 he returned to Cambridge, UK, to
work on membrane-linked addiction syndromes with Alex Bangham FRS, the
discoverer of liposomes. In 1977 he moved to the University of Liverpool, where
he has remained to this day. Andrew is best known for his early biophysical
demonstrations of ‘homeoviscous’ membrane adaptations by fish to temperature
and abyssal pressures through manipulation of lipid unsaturation. His Liverpool
group cloned the first fish ∆9-desaturase in carp and showed its graded
induction during cold conditioning. More recently, they have been in the
vanguard of genome-wide screening technologies, with a series of array-based,
genome-wide studies of gene responses to ecotox, disease tolerance,
hibernation, heat & cold, and hypoxia, notably including the discovery of
non-muscle myoglobin in fish. He was involved with the UK Environmental
Genomics initiative for NERC 2000-2005, and chaired both the Consortium for Post-Genome
Sciences, and the 'Genome-to-Systems' international conference series in
2003-2008. He is a founding Director of the Centre for Genomic Research at
Liverpool, now part of the UK National Infrastructure. He has published widely
including in Science, PNAS, Circulation, and News & Views, Nature. He was a
member of the Editorial Advisory Board of Science (2007-2010), is a Director of
the Company of Biologists (2009-present) and until recently was Head of the
Institute of Integrative Biology, Liverpool.
