Looking for someone?

Just to get things started, here’s a place to say what sort of collaborations you’re prepared to engage in, how much time you have free to spend etc. And if you have any particular problems that you want help with.
It is also worth checking other fora and groups, particularly is you have “small” questions that you need help with. For example, if you can’t figure out what sort of analysis you need for a particular problem, hop over to the statistics group.

Hmm We all seem to be involved in biology. Is there anyone out there doing something different?
At this rate, we could just try to knock up some bioinformatics collaboration.

I am an italian General Practitioner, retired since 8 years, who devoted himself since 1955 to the researches in the field of physical semeiotics, founding Biophysical Semeiotics. My preferred work is the Primary Prevention (to not confounde with “screening”, as it happens too often…)of most common disorders, including cancer and diabetes. May I contribute, too?

I’m a science writer putting together a story on the sociology of collaboration — specifically in the biomedical computing context. I’d love to know whether social networking sites like this one are really helping people build meaningful and lasting collaborations. I’m a doubter. Anyone have a good story to tell that fits this?

I am also still looking although a few projects are developing so I may join the mantra ‘having too much to do’ soon.
Interestingly to Bob’s opening post my most permanent topic ( over almost 40 years ) has been analysis of statistics. My field was medical statistics in Germany. The data provided by the state and major health institutions are huge, that used to be similar and even better in the UK, because of more parameters being published.
I would join for analysis of most kinds ( medical only though ), especially if international comparisons would be involved.
Currently my interest is more and more shifting to consciousness science.
In the 70ties when I was much more active, working as a group was crucial for me and others. I am wondering if such intense cooperations can happen via the internet. As the things I am trying via the internet are developing quite slowly, that would be a field where I could use much help.

I used to work on the biophysics of muscle crossbridges years ago, but these days my skills are limited to helping people to write clear manuscripts.

My main skill is in microarrays. I can design array for any organism for which the genome sequence is available and also can do array data analysis.
I open to collaborations for the above and anything in which I need to perform real array bench work is a possibility provided too many arrays are not required.

Dear Bob, I am working on bioinformatics, especially computational prediction of post-translational modification sites. Actually, cooperation on internet is difficult. Many people send us to cooperate and ask us to work out a software or analyze data for them. Then they get they want and without even say a farewell to us. Without face-to-face discussion, it’s hard to judge whether the cooperation can go on.
