Hello, my name is Ellis. My career has been in computer engineering, as in embedded microprocessor systems and data acquisition (semiconductor manufacturing equipment; gas chromatography instruments). I have a degree in abstract mathematics, and some experience with probability theory on Wall Street. Bioinformatics is a very attractive field, but I need training. For example, I would work for free for a while in exchange for on-the-job experience. Or, I would take an intensive training course if one were available around the Boston area. Would you please advise me? I sure would appreciate some pointers. Thanks for your help. Sincerely, Ellis D. Cooper XTALV1@NETROPOLIS.NET 978-546-5228
