Bill Milne received his Ph.D. from University of Manchester in England and after a two year post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Wisconsin joined the NIH in 1962. He worked in the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute until 1981 studying applications of mass spectrometry in chemistry and biochemistry, and the development of the NIH-EPA Chemical Information System. He then moved to the National Cancer Institute where he established the NCI Drug Information System (DIS), an interactively searchable database of chemicals that have been tested by the NCI for antitumor activity. Between 1990 and 1998 he worked on the development and use of 3D databases, in particular a 3D version of the DIS. During his career at NIH he has spent study leaves in Russia (1970), Australia (1972) and Slovenia (1996). He served in 1990 as Chairman of the Division of Computers in Chemistry of the American Chemical Society; he also has served as an Editor for CRC Press. He has published over 180 research papers and 16 books.
