small molecule chemistry
chemicals that can affect
protein function and
physiology very nicely
elucidate biological
mechanisms and pathways
lead to therapeutics
chemical informatics

medical education
JHU medical education curriculum reform  genetic paradigm
The interplay of genes and proteins and
environment is entirely unique for every
patient, so the physician's challenge is to
understand the variability of the genetic
and environmental factors that lead to
disease, try to craft a prevention plan,
and, if necessary, a treatment plan based
on the patient's unique variability. And
then to be able to evolve that plan over
time as new information is added.

why is Welch Library exploring PDAs?
PDA’s are increasingly popular
combined handheld tools are convenient:
cell phone + PDA + wireless technology
point of care information resources
