For 25 years, I have been developing the online resources below for researchers, educators and students. In 2020, they are, in aggregate, accessed more than 1,000 times/day.

Since 1997, I have been developing innovative, widely-used, award-winning tools for visualization of macromolecular structures in education, research, and structural bioinformatics. These are all free and open source. I have been coauthor on more than a dozen peer-reviewed journal publications in structural bioinformatics. I retired from teaching immunology in January, 2004. I did research in cell biology and immunology 1965-1997, publishing 46 research reports and 19 reviews.
