In particular, Played a leading role in designing and building a suite of next generation products (Symyx Direct Oracle Data Cartridge, Symyx Draw, and Symyx Cheshire - a chemistry oriented computer language) for handling, storing, and retrieving biomolecular sequences based on the Self-Contained Sequence Representation (SCSR), which he introduced in 2005.Proposed, designed, and implemented two new technologies - the Tgroup NEMA key and Sequence NEMA key for handling biomolecular sequences. The Sequence NEMA key overcomes the limitation of fragment-based screening method for exact structure search and makes it possible to perform fast exact sequence search at the chemistry level.
  • Reed Elsevier (Elsevier Mdl)
    Advisory Scientist/Principal Software Development Scientist
    Reed Elsevier (Elsevier Mdl) Jan 2000 - Oct 2007
    A member of the Elsevier MDL ‘s core Chemical Representation Group (CHRP). Conducted R&D of core cheminformatics/bioinformatics technologies and software products. In particular, Introduced a new concept of Reaction Hyper Structure (RHS) and carried out the research on building a novel reaction graph indexing and searching technology based on RHS.Developed the star-atom (*atom) representation of biomolecular sequence to eliminate the limitation of MDL’s ptable (periodical table), and implemented it in MDL Draw in C#. Proposed and designed XML-based standard-abbreviation-definition file for configuring of Sequence Tool of MDL Draw. This makes it easier for end users to choose among four different biopolymer representations – full connection table, pseudoatom, star-atom, and pseudoatom plus star-atom representations.Recognized the inherent problems of existing biomolecular sequence representations, and introduced a novel sequence representation - “Self-Contained Sequence Representation (SCSR)”, which later became the foundation of the next-generation products for handling, indexing, storing, and searching biopolymers at the chemistry level, and for the integration of bioinformatics with cheminformatics solutions. Designed and developed the NEMA algorithms for stereochemistry perception and NEMA key for fast exact structure search and duplicate checking.
