Christopher Thorpe
Christopher Thorpe is information architect for the Current Science Group,
publishers of BioMed Central, Genome Biology and Faculty of 1000. His role
encompasses the technical design, architecture, and development of a
framework for scholarly publishing which integrates an increasing collection
of resources. After a career as a bioinformatician he architected websites
for clients such as United International Pictures and Unilever before
joining Garland Publishing where he worked on multimedia and electronic
delivery of textbooks (Molecular Biology of the Cell). Over two years ago he
joined Current Science to architect Genome Biology, a combined web and print
journal which includes open-access peer-reviewed research papers and
scholarly reviews and then went on to work on BioMed Central. He has a
long-standing interest in bioinformatics and in the development of modern
forms of publishing in which the research data and methodology, and the
peer-reviewed research publication are more tightly integrated and indexed.
When not immersed in science publishing he spends his spare time as a
volunteer developing the website and e-curation system for a major British
sculpture charity.
