About Me

Andrew Hufton

Scientific editor, open science advocate

ORCID iD iconhttps://orcid.org/0000-0002-2003-9573

I am currently the Editor-in-Chief Patterns, a leading data science journal. I previously launched Scientific Data, and have worked at the Biotechnology Journal, Advanced Genetics, and Molecular Systems Biology.

Prior to my editorial career, I did research work in developmental biology and genome evolution. I also did a short stint in science policy, working with the policy team 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.

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.
