Darn good colleague Steve Parmley
Steve developed a practical phage display vector (after some false starts like pIG3C) and affinity selection as grad student, 1985-1988.
SLIDE 25
Jamie Scott first demonstrated affinity selection
- f peptides from
large random peptide libraries as postdoc, 1988-1991. Darn good colleague Jamie Scott
SLIDE 26
Robert Davis came to the lab as chief manager and technician in the summer of 1989. We calculate that he sequenced a million DNA bases using old-fashioned radioactive technology. Darn good colleague Robert Davis

Random peptide library
1015 phages representing 250 million phage clones, each clone displaying a different 15-amino acid guest peptide. [T. Nishi et al., FEBS Letters 399, 237–240 (1996)]
