Adam Cribbs

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR

  • MRC Career Development Fellow

Prof Cribbs leads a computational biology team with a broad interest in systems biology, immunology, epigenetics, and machine learning-driven approaches to biomedical research.

He completed his PhD in molecular T cell immunology at Imperial College London in May 2013. He then undertook a two-year postdoctoral position investigating the epigenetics of T cell activation at the University of Oxford. Following this, he completed a three-year MRC Fellowship in Computational Biology (Computational Genomics and Training Centre (CGAT) programme) with Prof Chris Ponting, also at the University of Oxford. Upon completion of this fellowship, he was appointed Group Leader in Systems Biology in 2018 and MRC Career Development Fellow (2021–2026) at the Botnar Research Centre.

Research in the Cribbs lab integrates functional genomics with advanced machine learning approaches to understand disease biology. A key focus is the development and application of graph-based neural networks, causal machine learning, and Agentic AI systems to identify regulatory mechanisms governing gene expression, protein interactions, and biological pathways. By leveraging these methodologies, the lab aims to decipher disease processes and uncover novel therapeutic targets.
