Ross Murphy graduated from Ulster University with BSc Biomedical Engineering and graduated from Queen’s University Belfast with MSc Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. He completed his PhD at Queen’s in Biomarker Discovery for Prostate Cancer and was a Research Fellow at Queen’s as part of the Prostate Cancer UK funded Belfast-Manchester (FASTMAN) Prostate Cancer Centre of Excellence. He is currently a Lecturer in Health Data Science at Ulster with research interests in artificial intelligence and multi-modal integration of biological-omics data for personalised medicine, with a particular focus on prostate cancer and hypertension.

Ross has vast experience and specialist skills in analysing and integrating multi-omics data, including genomics, transcriptomics and medical imaging radiomics, often using methods in artificial intelligence such as machine learning and evolutionary algorithms. He has a particular interest in personalised medicine through investigating emerging technologies in data science and artificial intelligence for prognostic and treatment-predictive biomarker discovery that is easier to translate into clinical practice for patient benefit in prostate cancer and treatment-resistant hypertension.
