As we learn from a rather poorly written article over at xconomy, “Biology has never really had a social-networking movement like open-source computing, where thousands of loosely-affiliated people around the world pool brainpower to make better software”. If you translate that into what was needed for biology (or chemistry) according to the xconomy author, it […]
The CDK team is glad to announce the Spring 2009 CDK workshop held at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI). More than two years have passed since the last CDK workshop in Cologne and we hope to have these great events more regularly again. We are glad that the EBI Industry Program as well as the […]
For the national meeting of the German Chemical Society in Frankfurt, August 30 – September 2, 2009, I’m co-organising a symposium on Open Notebook Science and Open Drug Discovery. John Overington, Cameron Neylon and Egon Willighagen have already agreed to speak and we are looking for further interesting speakers. Being incredibly Open PuTTY SSH execute […]
The Chemistry-Information-Computer (CIC) division of the German Chemical Society announces the 4th German Conference on Chemoinformatics (22. CIC-Workshop) to be held in Goslar, Germany, November 09-11, 2008.
Back after an afternoon of heavy hiking to Castle Boymont uphill from Schloss Korb. Great stuff. Day 3, Morning Session on Macromolecular Interactions: P-P, P-NA, NA-Light Sara Linse of Lund report on her group’s work on Protein Interactions, Association and Fibrillation. Systems Chemistry is the study of molecules acting collectively, she proposes. Her focus of […]
The Wednesday morning session is about to start. Paul Labute chairs it. Tom Blundell of Cambridge starts with “Exploring Biological and Chemical Space with High-Throughput Crystallographic, Biophysical and Computational Methods: The new Dimensions of Drug Discovery”. Tom starts with a view on a cell, stating its complicatedness or complexity. He points out the large number […]
I’ve been invited to deliver the summary talk for the 2008 Beilstein Symposium on Systems Chemistry in Bolzano, Italy. Being there for the fourth time in eight years (this symposium is biannual) I really always enjoy the meeting in this beautiful setting from the very first minute. The fact that the view and the food […]
I was invited to give my views on some new chemistry in European Bioinformatics at a Meeting held by the CICAG group of the Royal Society, held at Burlington House, London. Peter Murray-Rust set the scene by emphasising the importance for Open Data. He showed some fantastic work on data extraction by OSCAR from theses, […]
