entries and identifying issues in the current data representation and 
chemical definitions
  	* creating solutions to overcome current challenges including 
establishing new data representation and improving chemical definitions 
in the PDB small molecule references
  	* collaborating with software developers and biocurators on validating 
solutions and software testing

MINIMAL EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE
