Hi, I'm J Gill, glad to be here.

I am a biochemist with interests in microbiology, tropical diseases and enzymology. I did my PhD in biochemistry on trypanothione metabolism, at Dundee University in Scotland under the supervision of Professor Alan Fairlamb. I am now working on Leishmaniasis, in America. If anybody has any questions about enzymology, parasitology etc I would be delighted to try to help. I am usually glad to answer questions and research stuff for articles, after all, favours owed are valuable things.

At the moment I'm the director of Molecular and Cellular Biology wikiproject and working on bringing as many basic molecular biology, biochemistry and infectious disease articles up to featured article level as I can. Even with the help of all the expert editors in the project, this is going to be a very long process, but generations of students will bless our efforts as they plagiarise our text!

The MCB project is a group of editors interested in improving the quality of Wikipedia articles on molecular life sciences. Since these pages are usually the top Google hit on any biochemical subject you care to mention, this is more important from an academic viewpoint than you might think. Anybody interested in helping out can sign up on the project page (link). You will be most welcome.

Please note that I am not an employee of the Wikimedia foundation and my views are my own.
