What will this guy be doing relative to us here?

"The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced $287 million in grants on Wednesday to create an international network of 16 labs to try new approaches to making a vaccine against AIDS...

Leo Stamatatos of the Seattle Biomedical Research Institute and colleagues won $19.4 million to come up with computer design techniques to create synthetic molecules to trigger antibodies against HIV."

Warren Buffett is transferring about another 30 billion to the 'to be recristened' BM&W foundation ** and becoming an executive there.......tax dotch or not, but if governments world wide dont take these global issues serious, i'm all fine with that.

** The Bayrische Motor Werke will be amused.

Re: What will this guy be doing relative to us here?

from the sound of it, he might go straight from computer design to drug production, without any simulated tests against the virus like we're doing here?

if so, all his tests will be on people directly.

oops, on second thought maybe their work is related to ours. i see rosetta and david baker mentioned here:

Rosetta is a 'Swiss knife' of a program. It handles protein folding, protein docking and protein design. The anti-HIV grant intends to use the protein design part of the Rosetta program. So it is only distantly related to our work.

interesting. are they testing against a simulated disease model, or just going straight to the people with their 'new' medicine?
