Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolRoderic Page is a professor of taxonomy at the University of Glasgow and a long-standing scientific advisor to major institutions including the Natural History Museum and GBIF, bringing 14+ years of senior experience at the intersection of systematics, genomics and biodiversity informatics. His work blends classical taxonomy and host–parasite coevolution with modern molecular evolution and Semantic Web approaches, enabling more connected, machine-readable biodiversity data. He has led editorial and governance roles (including Editor-in-Chief of Systematic Biology and chairing GBIF’s Science Committee) that shaped policy and standards for global biodiversity data sharing. Equally at home writing research-grade software and web tools as in the lab, he combines bioinformatics development with deep domain expertise to produce reproducible, interoperable workflows. Based in Glasgow, he pairs academic leadership with practical museum and research collaborations, often translating complex phylogenetic insights into usable informatics resources. An unusual strength is his sustained cross-sector influence—academia, museums, international infrastructures—that accelerates uptake of semantic and computational methods in taxonomy.
