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 […]
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 […]
Courtesy of Andres Rueda, Flickr There are still places available at 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
