About the trainer:
Andrew Moore
Andrew Moore began his scientific career with a background in biochemistry, progressing into structural biology, molecular biology, and biophysics. His transition into science communication was marked by his recruitment to EMBO, where he was instrumental in establishing and leading our programme for science communication and science policy.
At EMBO, Andrew conceptualized and implemented a broad array of impactful and recurring initiatives. These included high-level stakeholder meetings and policy fora, innovative media workshops designed to foster interaction between young scientists and journalists, and molecular biology workshops tailored for secondary school teachers. He also oversaw the creation of educational videos and digital learning platforms. Many of these activities were supported through competitive funding that Andrew successfully secured, notably from the European Commission and the Bosch Stiftung.
Andrew authored numerous reports and policy briefings and was a consistent presence in policy dialogues, frequently representing EMBO at meetings with the European Commission in Brussels. He served on the jury panel for the prestigious Descartes Prize and was a member of the Wellcome Trust’s assessor panel for science communication grants.
In addition to his programme responsibilities, Andrew was Associate Editor of EMBO reports, contributing to the journal’s editorial excellence. From 2008 to 2021, he served as Editor-in-Chief of the peer-reviewed journal BioEssays. In 2016, he further expanded his editorial leadership by taking on the role of Editor-in-Chief of the Wiley Researcher Academy, a learning platform supporting early career researchers in developing key research and publishing skills.
Andrew continues to share his expertise in science writing and editorial through lectures and workshops delivered at international venues such as the American Society for Cell Biology annual meeting, the Institut Curie in Paris, and the University of Heidelberg.
