RESEARCH SUMMARY

My pre-retirement career focused on exploring the diverse landscape of biological structures and structure-function relationships, with the goal of improving fundamental understanding of life processes. Major projects have included structure database development (EMDataResource, Nucleic Acid Knowledgebase, Protein Data Bank), with emphasis on improving representation of large biological assemblies (Pointsuite). The online curriculum, "PDB and Data Archiving" introduces best practices in data resource management based on the extensive experience accumulated by the  Research Collaboratory for Bioinformatics team.
