The new UPsites Web Studio home page is currently only experimental, since Drupal 8 will only be released in spring 2014.
However, I enjoyed trying out the new theme layer, and doing an long-needed overhaul of my site. The current content will be imported as functionality becomes available.
The site is still in its infancy. Everything is kept simple to avoid too much change when D8 changes. Especially the menu behavior will change and will become more responsive. The content from the old site, and the new database schema for Drupal 8, will be included as time permits.
ModBase is a database of annotated comparative protein structure models at the Laboratory of Andrej Sali at UCSF. The models are calculated by ModPipe, an automated modeling pipeline. The database contains tens of millions of protein structure models, which can be accessed freely by the academic community. The technologies used are perl/cgi, javascript, and a MySQL backend. I was the developer for this project from 2001 to 2014.
The website for the laboratory of Andrej Sali at the University of California, San Francisco comprises static html pages, a custom flash gallery, and a custom publication list (perl/cgi) that interacts with an EndNote library (used as a reference manager when writing publications). The private section of thee web site is connected to the lab's identification system. The basic template is also used for a number of web services offered by the research group.
