Good news! I'll soon be starting a software engineering gig at the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) in Seattle, a non-profit biomedical research organization. ISB is full of really great people and they're doing some exciting work in proteomics and computational biology. I'll be joining the Shmulevich Lab and I'll be starting with a project to bring human proteomic data onto the Cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid.

Although computational biology wasn't the subject of my thesis research, I really enjoyed the coursework/research project that I did in this area and I'm looking forward to learning more. I'm also excited to get a first-hand account of how software engineering works in big science. Altogether it's a great opportunity and it will be fantastic to be back in Seattle. Yay!
