hoho,怎么偶的感觉是bioinformatics的春天还没有来,冬天就已经降临了呢? hehe..just
kidding...
but,确实是,不知道为什么,越多了解这个方向,越不怎么看好它的市场行情.请注意,我指
它的实用及market方面,not accademic方面.如有异义,欢迎讨论.
首先,感觉bioinformatics目前更多的处于Academic阶段,而且它跨的几个领域互相之间缺
乏沟通.mathmatics cares formular,computer scientiest cares algorithms,
biologiest cares real results...they don't care each other's own need.
其次,目前这个领域真正赚钱的市场太少,没有令人信得过的结论或产品出炉,谁会往里面
投资呢? 大家也知道,bioinformatics离了data是不行的,可是data = 投资money.大部分
的钱还是要往exper

I think bioinformatics in a research sense has no good future, not yet,
neither academic nor industry... competition in academic is getting tougher.
Once a prominent scientist (VP of HHMI) told me he think the ratio of
biologist and bioinformatics in academic should be 10:1, the current
ratio is 30:1 (or someting like that)... not sure if he is still keeping
his idea.
Bioinformatics in industry is totally different, if you are only involved
in data support(storage, query), I am sure this kind of

well,I can't agree more except the point on research part.I think bioinformatics
still have academic value,although it's in it's infancy stage.There are many
problems needs to be solved.If constant funding can go to this area and it
attracts enough attention,that's good.
The sad thing is even in market,not many people knows bioinformatics.I once
walked by a job fair in my school and talked to four biotech companies
recruiter,only one of them can provide similar type of job, and three of them
onl

早在两年前的时候 nature biotechnology 就发出过对这个领域的前景报导的一
篇文章, 当时也是一个小的bioinformatics公司关门了. 记得还是个女abc当老板什么
的. Anyway, 撇开别的不说, 关键在于business model的问题, 很多公司想用给
licence的方法来拉住大 至药厂客户, 但业内人士对于在internet上传送公司机密
sequence的idea 一向不屑一故. 放开security不说, 这种只对big pharm的市场实在
是太小了. 有点类似 Oracle的 方式, 但oracle的用户市场开阔的多, 但是就licence
的model 来说, Oracle的日子也不是很好过.
Anyway, 从整个pharm的角度来讲, 其实它的市场也只是病人, focus在保健, 和疾病
上, 比起广泛的computer 的市场来说, 本身就小了一些. 要成功, 一定要看好有大的市

另外一定要领先对手, 积极创新. viagra其实只针对男人, 本身市场就砍掉一半, 女人
不适用, 它的成功在于它是首例, 领先了对
