Where this comes from

Abstract

When high-throughput screening of proteins and genes made its debut, it was the darling of industry--but new academic facilities are now being set up to make the expensive technology involved available to researchers. As a result, new institutes are recruiting scientists to liaise between academia and industry; and industry, in turn, continues to seek graduates and postdocs--as long as they are fresh thinkers with multiple skills. In addition, centres are being set up to train students in the latest technologies.
