Attwood has led major projects including the BioMinT FP5[17] text-mining consortium, the EMBER[18] bioinformatics education consortium (including EBI and Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics as partners), and the EPSRC PARADIGM Platform.[19] She is the Manchester principal investigator on projects SeqAhead (Next-generation sequencing data analysis network)[20] and AllBio (bioinformatics infrastructure for unicellular, animal and plant sciences),[21] and was also Manchester PI on EMBRACE[22] and EuroKUP (kidney and urine proteomics).[23] Attwood was a member of ELIXIR's Bioinformatics Training Strategy Committee (Work Package 11)[24] during ELIXIR's preparatory phase. She is currently Chair of the EMBnet Global Bioinformatics Network, she was a member of the Executive Committees of the International Society for Biocuration, and the Bioinformatics Training Network, and was recently elected to the Board of Directors of the International Society for Computational Biology. In 2012, she spearheaded the establishment of a GOBLET (Global Organisation for Bioinformatics Learning, Education and Training), with the major bioinformatics, computational biology and biocuration societies, networks and organisations as partners. As of 2016[update], Attwood is the Chair of the GOBLET Executive Board.[25][26]
As well as being a biocurator[16][27] she has co-developed tools to align and visualise protein sequences and structures, including Ambrosia and CINEMA.[28][29] The group are building re-usable software components to create useful bioinformatics applications through UTOPIA (Bioinformatics tools),[30][31] and are developing new approaches for automatic annotation and text mining, like PRECIS,[32] METIS,[33] BioIE,[34] and semantic approaches to data integration,[35] such as the Semantic Biochemical Journal[36] published by Portland Press. The UTOPIA tools underpin both the Semantic Biochemical Journal and a collaborative project with Pfizer and AstraZeneca to develop a 21st-century interface to biomedical literature and data management.
Attwood teaches on undergraduate and postgraduate courses and has been doctoral advisor or co-supervisor to several PhD students (e.g., Manuel Corpas). Attwood has co-authored several book chapters and three popular bioinformatics textbooks: Introduction to Bioinformatics[38] and Bioinformatics and Molecular Evolution.[39]
Attwood is a co-author of the bioinformatics textbook Bioinformatics Challenges at the Interface of Biology and Computer Science: Mind the Gap[40] with Steve Pettifer and Dave Thorne.
