 | As Vice President of Science & Research at Tripos, Bob
              was
              responsible for generating intellectual property.  He
              was also,
              however, charged with keeping track of the company's
              overall portfolio
              and worked closely with Tripos' patent attorney and
              business
              development staff to determine where and when it made
              sense to pursue
              patent protection.  This dove-tailed nicely with his
              patent
              experience at Monsanto.Patents & Disclosures
 
 Bob's patented inventions include:
