Hi,
I am Mani.

Its nice to have an introduction to this forum.

Full Name: V A Manikhandan Mudaliar
Age: 33 years
Background: Veterinarian
Degree: BVSc & AH (Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry)
Graduation year: 1997
College : Nagpur Veterinary College, Maharashtra, India
Location:Tamil Nadu, India
Future Location (From October 2008): Cranfield, UK

I am planning to join MSc Applied Bioinformatics at Cranfield University in October 2008. I intend to do PhD and take up a research position in a University or pharma industry. I am interested in proteomics and metabolomics.
Initially, after my BVSc & AH, I set up private veterinary practice and run it for about 4 years. Subsequently I joined the present job, Veterinary Surgeon, in the government service in 2001. General subjects of interest include immunology, pathology, oncology and pharmacology.

Thank you

Well,

Suppose i'd better go first then, (seeing as there are no other takers...).

I'm Darren Oakley, I was in the 2002-2003 academic year (the first year the course was run).

I did my thesis working with Chris Jones, entitled \"Sequence Analysis of Chromosome 11q Deletion Breakpoints in Jacobsen Syndrome Patients\".

I'm currently back at Cranfield Univ. now doing a PhD in Bioinformatics with Dr B.

(I just can't get enough of that Silsoe place! :? )

Ill go next then,

I'm Bhapinder Singh (or Bob, for short).

Also from the original (and best) bix years of 2002-2003.

My thesis was with Prof. Saini in the CCAS on 'The Applications of Quantum Dots to High-Throughput Analysis' (very cool!)

Currently I am back at home in the sunny 'ole Midlands working at a local college doing IT/funding/research kinda work for them.

Hi I'm Chris. Everyone has left the office, so this forum is all I have for company.

I studied at Cranfield part time, 2002-2004, making the (successful?) transition from Genomic biology to bioinformatics. Working at University College London, setting up a CGH microarray facility.

Since this is my first post in this forum I thought I'd start here.

Hi, my name is Wei.

I am from the BIX 2002-2003 year.
My project was about Artificial Life - studying evolving machine code and it's parallels to biological forms of life.

Presently I'm working on the Uniprot/Swiss-Prot human annotation project at the EBI near Cambridge.

Have recently presented my work to the Sequence Database group at the EBI - Human annotation and updating human chromosome tables.

I am Matthew Hindle

background : a Biology Degree (Oxford Brooks class of 1999) and Job Clinical Microbiology (never to plate again!! :-D)

I was on the Cranfield, Silsoe BIX MSc in the class of 2004 (WayHay!!)
I am working for PubGene AS, Norway as a Bioinformatics Java developer, during and since my MSc project.
I will start a PhD in Integrated Systems Biology at Nottingham and Rothampstead in 1 week.

(everyone keeps telling me its crazy to want to be a student again?? no idea why? :?)

I am Alex Marshall, from the MSc Bioinformatics in the same year as Matt (above).
I have been at Nottingham Uni for one year carrying out a PhD in integrative systems
biology.

Our year rocked !!! :2funny:
