Dr Pete Oliver

Pete comes to NATA with over 25 years’ experience in cell and molecular biology. After a degree in Biochemistry and a PhD in Genetics, he led projects studying new models of neurological disorders at the University of Oxford, before becoming a group leader at the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics in 2012 funded by an ERC Consolidator Award. His group’s work in rare disease modelling using the mouse resulted in a new position as an MRC Programme Leader at the MRC Mammalian Genetics Unit in 2017. Pete joined NATA in February 2022, bringing an understanding of multi-disciplinary approaches to translational science; from biochemistry and cell biology to the application of preclinical genetic tools. Pete remains a visiting academic member of the University of Oxford and is an active co-investigator in the MRC National Mouse Genetics Network.
