I develop biochemical assays, automate them and test compounds to see 
their potential drug interactions.  The data that I generate is put into
a database.  From the database we hope to be able to predict function 
based on strucutral characteristics and predit if a paticular compound 
will make it through FDA trials by comparing its performance to 
other compounds.  This is pretty cool because I've wanted to be a
scientist since I was a wee lad reading issues of Scientific American and
National Geographic and going to Seattle Robotics Society meetings.  I
wonder sometimes how lucky I am to have realized the vision of creating my
own reality.
