Mendel hired Garry in 1998 to help run bioinformatics for the company's ground-breaking charter effort to identify all transcription factors in the Arabidopsis genome. In 2001, he was appointed to another lead role, in Mendel's successful Advanced Technology Program project, then distinguished as the second largest funding grant in the history of the federal NIST ATP agency. In 2004, Mendel picked him to launch cheminformatics for its new Helmont Chemical Genetics subsidiary project. Garry's career in information technology began in the mid 1970's, as a student of computer science at the University of California, at Berkeley, and since then he has accumulated more than 30 years of experience in data management, systems analysis, and software development in research settings. |
