"Voxiva's databases collect information from doctors in remote villages and map it out so health officials can spot potential outbreaks quickly. In traditional paper-based bureaucracies, illnesses can ravage an entire region before the mail brings the national health ministry word of even one death.

But how to connect the new databases to places where computers and e-mail Ñ sometimes even electricity Ñ are years away? Meyer's practical inspiration was to create a system that doesn't care whether data comes over the Internet or from a phone."

Bioinformatics will be at the core of biology in the 21st century. In fields ranging from structural biology to genomics to biomedical imaging, ready access to data and analytical tools are fundamentally changing the way investigators in the life sciences conduct research and approach problems. Complex, computationally intensive biological problems are now being addressed and promise to significantly advance our understanding of biology and medicine. No biological discipline will be unaffected by these technological breakthroughs.
