Owing to the unpopularity of Bioinformatics, a few of the professors' assistants were existing PhD undergraduates. The most qualified assistant was a laboratory assistant, but he was nothing in the grand scheme of things in the Biology faculty.
Even the laboratory assistant had probably only watched the more experienced professors conduct experiments. He was only adequately equipped to teach the first and second year students, but was not good enough to have any decisive role in terms of research.
It was understandable for people from the other divisions to despise them.
It was certainly a major challenge to make an unpopular subject prominent.
