This January I was recruited and hired by a startup biotech company, Target Discovery, Inc., in San Carlos, in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am currently working on technology platform development in high throughput protein separation and characterization, which will ultimately be used in proteomic databases construction, which is a crucial part of drug discovery in the post-genomic era. Kandy and I are happy to announce the arrival of our first child, Jonasen, who was born on 28 September 2000, at St. Rose Hospital in Hayward, California. In these early days of his life, Jonasen has already learned to talk on the phone whenever the receiver is being held close to him. I finally have something to say in the Holiday Newsletter.
