The Steinbeck Group at European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI, Cambridge, UK), together with the Lab of Tony Vidal-Puig (U. Cambridge/ WT Sanger), are excited to announce a joint opening for a Post-doc position to work on a multi-omics project to identify new players in the human brown and beige adipocyte recruitment as an anti-obesity strategy. The project […]
We just wanted to update you with some good news from the Journal of Cheminformatics. The Thomson / ISI 2011 Journal Impact Factors were just released, and the Journal of Cheminformatics received an Impact Factor of 3.42 – the first year we have been given an impact factor. This is very high for a new […]
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 […]

I’m co-organizing the 2012 conference on Therapeutic Applications of Computational Biology and Chemistry (TACBAC), 12-14 March 2012, at the Wellcome Trust Conference Centre, Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridge, UK This conference will bring together leading researchers investigating computational chemistry and biology techniques as applied to advancing our ability to predict, diagnose and modulate human disease. This […]
There are a few seats left for the 5th German Conference on Cheminformatics in Goslar and we’ll extend the deadline a bit to give you the chance to register if you haven’t done so. The GCC is a great chance to meet with around 200 other participants from all areas of life science informatics and […]
First Call for Papers: Computational Aspects of Metabolomics 239th ACS National Meeting San Francisco, March 21-25, 2010 CINF Division We now invite papers for our symposium on computational aspects of Metabolomics at the 239th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in San Francisco next spring. Metabolomics studies the occurrence and change of concentrations […]
If the pompous title caught your attention, and you are ashamed of that: Don’t worry. It is all true. My cheminformatics and metabolism group at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) is looking for a phd student this year and all you need to do is apply through the regular route. The range of possible topics […]
My favorite thinkers over at the Singularity Hub have posted the quarterly summary of their best news stories. Go check it out. For those of you not knowing what this is about: Read the book “The singularity is near” by Ray Kurzweil. Compelling stuff. https://lookup-phone-prefix.ca
I do not normally recommend books that I read to a wider public. Partly because I’m disappointed if someone dislikes a book that I loved, partly because I do not think that my taste is of interest to anyone, partly because 90% of my reading was written by Terry Pratchett. In addition, when it comes […]
