From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My name is Jawahar Swaminathan and I currently work for the European Bioinformatics Institute in the Macromolecular Structure Database(MSD) as the Project Leader for Depositions and Annotation of structures for the Protein Data Bank, The MSD is a member of the wwPDB, the organization entrusted with the maintenance of the database of macromolecular structures.

I have previously been employed at the University of Bath in the Department of Biology and Biochemistry. I am a protein crystallographer by training, and have determined the 3-dimensional structures of many proteins of immune origin. These include the Eosinophil Major Basic Protein, Eosinophil-derived neurotoxin, Charcot-Leyden Crystal Protein and interferon-binding protein-10 (IP10)(CXCL10).

My interests in programming have led me to develop a bioinformatics toolbar for Firefox called biobar.
