Lastly, I’m excited to announce that as of July, I am the Director of the Bioinformatics IDP at UCLA and am also the Interim Home Area Director for Bioinformatics. I’m grateful to have the chance to help steer our graduate programs through this critical challenging juncture.

It's almost incomprehensible to me how much slower progress would be if it all needed to be done by for-profit companies who would seek patents for everything. We need a basis in basic science, which the market really can't support.

My time in industry convinced me of the importance of basic, government funded science research. It was crazy how much of the stuff we did was based directly on academic research that in-and-of-itself would have been too risky and/or too low-return for the company to do
