Research
His main work{{GoogleScholar|LJNAj68AAAAJ}} is in the field of protein sequence analysis and more particularly in the development of databases and software tools for this purpose. His most important contribution is the input of human knowledge by careful manual annotation in protein-related data.{{Cite journal
