More personal

This blog has been mostly about my work so far and was labelled “A molecular-informatics weblog”. For a while, however, my group has also been running its own blog at http://metabolights.blogspot.com/ and I will use this group blog from now on for postings about bioinformatics, cheminformatics, metabolism, etc. So from now on, this blog will […]

Philadelphia Symposium on Cheminformatics Opportunities in Personalized Medicine and Chemogenomics.

We are accepting submissions of abstracts for consideration for an ACS Division of Chemical Information (CINF) Symposium on Cheminformatics Opportunities in Personalized Medicine and Chemogenomics. This session will bring together researchers investigating computational chemistry and cheminformatics to study the development of drugs based on our knowledge of genomes and to develop better methods to personalize […]

A more complete human, Part 1

What does it mean to live a good life? Philosophers have written about this questions for thousands of years, and very often we find surprisingly up-to-date answers and suggestions in texts as old as 2000 years. Sadly, most of the people in our hectic western societies (and the more and more hectic eastern societies and […]

ChemSpider aquired by the Royal Society of Chemistry

It’s going to be all over the place soon anyway, so I’ll make it short: The Royal Society of Chemistry has announced that it has aquired ChemSpider. This is great news and I’m confident that it will be a move to even more openess in chemistry and cheminformatics. It will also allow the RSC to […]

ChEBI release 56, now with SD file

We are pleased to announce release 56 of our database of Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI). SDF files are now available with ChEBI Release 56. They can be exported via the Downloads section or the search results page. We also have automatically generated links from IntEnz (www.ebi.ac.uk/intenz) and Rhea (www.ebi.ac.uk/rhea). This release contains 17842 […]

CDK Workshop 2009 Wrap-up

The CDK workshop 2009 is over and what is left is a bad cold. But I’ll get over it. The workshop itself was phantastic – we had 40 participants with well balanced contributions from industry and academia. The first half day was dedicated to tutorials on various aspects of CDK, basic installation, our CDK and […]
