I’m delighted to announce that the first open access journal of our field, the Journal of Cheminformatics, is now live and has published its first articles. Journal of Cheminformatics is a new open access journal from Chemistry Central publishing peer-reviewed research in all aspects of cheminformatics and molecular modelling. It is run by Editors-in-Chief David […]

Duan Lian, a colleague from the Laboratory of Molecular Modelling and Design in Shanghai, is keen on getting more cheminformatics functionality implemented in Javascript and I’m perfectly in line with his goals. He has posted some results at http://chemhack.com/mx-gwt/demo-molecule-structure-rendering, with more certainly to come.

In addition, when it comes […]
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.
I’m very delighted to announce my move to the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) in Hinxton near Cambridge, UK, at the beginning of 2008. At EBI, I will re-establish my research group and become leader of the chemoinformatics-related service teams, including the ChEBI and Reactome teams. Future Directions at EBI All of my ongoing research projects […]
