Andrew L. Hufton, PhD
Scientific editor, open science advocate
I’m currently the Editor-in-Chief Patterns, a data science journal from Cell Press. I have worked at a number of other titles previously, including Scientific Data, which I launched. I also worked briefly in science policy, at the Leibniz DMSZ, on issues related to the equitable sharing of genetic data from biodiversity. I continue to be involved in this important issue as a volunteer member of the DSI Scientific Network. Prior to my editorial career, I did research work in developmental biology and genome evolution. Check out my CV for more details on my career and publications.
I am committed to promoting open science and believe we ultimately aid society by building a more fair and transparent research culture.
I live in Würzburg with my wife and a pair of turtle-shaped tables.
