Computational Biologist, Ceres “Guided Discovery; Computational Biology’s Roles in the Biotech Industry” Biotech researches are traditionally performed in wet labs and are heavily dependent on the knowledge and skills of bench work scientists. With computational algorithms becoming more sophisticated and biological information more abundant in references as time moves on, computational scientists now have more chances to play leading roles in the researches in the biotech industry. Computational tools and analyses are useful at the early stages of researches to effectively guide the following experimental steps to save both time and money. Computational analyses performed during or after the experiment are also critical to manage and make sense of the experimental data. As examples, I would like to describe some of my projects in biotech companies, including works in gene discovery, comparative genomics and patent protection etc. Host: Fengzhu Sun
