William Hayes’s Summary

Started off with Aerospace Engineering - structural analyses of jet engines - heavy duty computational analyses. I then went back for a PhD in Molecular Biology and surprisingly enough wound up in Bioinformatics doing - heavy duty computational analyses :)

My bioPharma experiences started with large-scale genomics analyses and database development. I have focused continually on generating and delivering information from whatever data sources are available. A major choke point for my genomics analyses was literature review and analysis which lead me to text mining and building a literature informatics organization from a Library.
