Wilson and Walker's Principles and Techniques of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Andreas Hofmann is Associate Professor at the Structural Chemistry Program Leader at Griffith University's Eskitis Institute and an Honorary Senior Research Fellow at the Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences at the University of Melbourne. He is also fellow of the Higher Education Academy (UK). Hofmann's research lab focusses on the structure and function of proteins in infectious and neurodegenerative diseases, and also develops computational tools. He is the author of Methods of Molecular Analysis in the Life Sciences (Cambridge, 2014) and Essential Physical Chemistry (2017). Samuel Clokie is the principal bioinformatician at the Birmingham Women's and Children's Hospital, where he leads the implementation of bioinformatic techniques to decipher next generation sequencing data in clinical diagnostics. He is also an Honorary Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Cancer and Genomic Sciences at the University of Birmingham and before that was a Research Fellow at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda.
