New ChEBI team members
Welcome to our new team members
I’m glad to announce that the recent round of recruitment for the ChEBI team has been completed. We have two new colleagues, Steve Turner, our new Chemistry Curator, and Adriano Dekker, our new Software Engineer. Both will work with us to make ChEBI fit for the inclusion of more then 500.000 new ChEBI entries. Those chemical structure were brought to EBI by my esteemed colleague John Overington as part of the ChEMBL database, formerly known as Starlite, Candistore and Drugstore. ChEMBL obviously contains much more than chemical structure, namely their activities against around 4000 biological targets and other properties, and the ChEMBL resource will be manage by John and his team. ChEBI will provide the chemical structure, substructure and similarity searching for the ChEMBL structures and we will soon report on our recent advancements in this field.
For now, I wish Steve and Adriano a good start in my team. I’m sure we are going to have a good time together.
