Dr. Ramnaraya
by Rick Archibald

Dr. Ramnaraya of Structural Bioinformatics Inc spoke to students in the mathematics department here at ASU about possible employment opportunities in the biotech field. He talked about the problems facing industry in obtaining funding and clients. He also talked about the opportunities for mathematicians in the biotech field (There are many, Math Rocks!!!). He outlined the methods used to model protein shape in three dimensions. There is much work that needs to be accomplished in this field, and the benefits are great.
