Rich Mcdonald
Areas Rich Mcdonald is Knowledgeable in:
- Biomedical problems (i.e., viral, cancer, bioterrorism, algorithms, etc.).
Techniques Rich Mcdonald Uses:
- I use Mind Mapping
- I look at the methods & materials section to reveal flaws [if any] in statistical significance.
- I integrate seemingly unrelated questions, problems or ideas from different fields.
- I use, when appropriate, algorithms/symbolic logic to solve problems.

Rich Mcdonald's Problem Solving Experience:
- - I pioneered field multiplexing [Military Medicine (2001)].
- I revolutionized a protein purification process helping drug discovery/drug improvements against HIV. [European Journal of Biochemistry (1991)].
- I developed the first process to clone full-length HIV-1 gp160 loosely based on a sea urchin gene amplification process. [J of Virological Methods (2005)].
- I developed/wrote a module for FEMA on spread of disease and infection control (1999-2000)].
- I developed a novel statistical analysis for clinical data [J of Human Virology (2001)].
- I wrote two chapters in Methods of Molecular Medicine [Humana Press (1999)].
- I showed that HIV or HTLV and spumaretrovirus can be expressed concomitantly from the same cell. [J of Cellular Biochemistry (1993)].
- I wrote on the algorithm flaws of impact indices. [In press, JAOA (2013)].
- I coined new terms: Military Medicine (2001), J of Virological Methods (2005), JAOA (2007, 2013).
