Synopsis of Our
Activities
Our broad
goal is to undertake in silico bioinformatics-related research and
education (with emphasis on structural bioinformatics) to improve our
understanding of living systems. This understanding covers research into
evolution, protein form and function, disease relationships, drug discovery and
immunology. Along the way we help develop resources, for example, the RCSB
Protein Data Bank and the Immune Epitope Database (IEDB), for use by the
community. We view these resources as being as important as disseminating our
science through the scientific literature and other means. Our recent accomplishments
in these areas can be found in our three year
review.
We firmly
support open access to the scientific literature through our work with the Public
Library of Science and free access to our data and software. Using open access
we are also working on novel modes of scientific dissemination.
