Bioinformatics Group:
Staff: 1 (myself, since 2001) Client base: ~ 90 R&D scientists (working in reagent development) Areas of support: Sequence analysis (training, consulting) In silico design of synthetic sequences (consulting,
service)
Molecular modeling and visualization (service) Identification and evaluation of tools and resources for
special project needs (consulting, service)
Maintenance of website with links to internal and external
tools and resources
In-house tools supported: Vector NTI Suite, Insight II On-line tools licensed: Transfac database (Biobase), GEMS
(Genomatix)
Hardware: 1 SGI Octane (IRIX), 1 Sun Ultra 5 (Solaris), all
scientists have PCs (Windows)
Funding for staff: permanent employee Funding for new tools: R&D budget; becoming a serious problem due to
outrageous licensing fees
Training: currently on-demand; formal plan needs to be developed
soon
Personal Interests:
Biomolecular engineering, directed evolution Protein structure/function, molecular modeling Teaching: "Current Techniques in Protein & Genetic Engineering" course
at BTCI (www.btci.org),
"Molecular Genetics" course at Hebrew University, Jerusalem.
Course offerings:
Promega's private non-profit foundation (www.btci.org) offers
Bioinformatics courses organized by Jeff Blanchard of NCGR (former post-doc at Promega).
