Tamas Korcsmaros

Tamas Korcsmaros developed a signalling network database, SignaLink, as a PhD student, which filled a vital niche in the landscape of bioinformatics tools, and has since become one of the most used signalling network resources for human and model organism studies. It also forms the core of OmniPath, a more general human signalling network resource he co-developed with the group of Julio Saez-Rodriguez. In 2014, he received a special five-year BBSRC fellowship to work in the computational biology and sequencing-focused Earlham Institute and the gut microbiome-centred Quadram Institute at the Norwich Research Park. This fellowship allowed him to establish a multidisciplinary group that combines computational and experimental approaches, including gut organoids. In 2019, he was appointed Tenure-Track Group Leader at the Earlham and Quadram Institutes. His group has carried out multiple projects to predict, analyse and validate host-microbe interactions in the gut, especially in relation t
