Who are we?

DarwinTunes has been developed at Imperial College London as a collaboration between:

Dr Bob MacCallum

Bob is a bioinformaticist in the Laboratory of Immunogenomics at Imperial College London. During the day he creates genomic research tools for the insect disease vector community (e.g. malaria, dengue...), and also uses evolutionary algorithms to unlock the secrets of gene regulation in these organisms. By night he is consumed by an evil, creative genius, and toils away at DarwinTunes, Evolectronica, Compare-stuff and other tours de force.

Prof Armand Leroi

Armand is Professor of Evolutionary Developmental Biology at Imperial College London. He studies the worm, Caenorhabditis elegans and its relatives in order to understand how they grow and age. He is particularly interested in the role of metabolism in shaping life-history. He also does TV series about evolution and genetics — most recently for the BBC and National Geographic, and he’s writing a book about Aristotle’s biology.
