Education

Bustin obtained his B.A. and PhD from Trinity College, Dublin in molecular genetics. [5] [ dead link ]

Career

In 2023, Bustin was elected a member of the Academia Europaea. [6] [ non-primary source needed ]

Research

His research group’s general areas of interest are the small and large bowel, as well as colorectal cancer with particular emphasis on investigating the process of invasion and metastasis. An important aim is to translate molecular techniques into clinical practice by including molecular parameters into clinical tumor staging. [7] To this end, Bustin has published many papers on PCR techniques, [8] [9] [ failed verification ] in particular reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, the subject of his most cited paper, published in 2000. [10]

Bustin led a group who the MIQE guidelines in a 2009 paper published in Clinical Chemistry , [11] the goal of which is to create guidelines for how PCR should be performed to ensure that PCR results are being reliably conducted and interpreted, as well as to make replication of experiments easier. This paper is the fifth most cited one ever to be published in Clinical Chemistry, [12] [13] with over 17000 citations on Google Scholar as of September 2025. [14]

Lundy murders testimony

Bustin testified in the trials pertaining to the Lundy murders in 2015, criticizing tests that had claimed to detect human brain cells on Mark Lundy's shirt. [15] [16]
