ArtusLabs Collaborates with Boston University to Create Three Dimensional Structures.DURHAM, N.C. -- ArtusLabs, Inc., a leading provider of life science software tools and data management solutions, has entered into a partnership with Boston University's Center for Chemical Methodology and Library Development (CMLD CMLD Censored Mean Level Detector ) to develop a way to standardize and expand the way in which stereochemistry stereochemistry, study of the three-dimensional configuration of the atoms that make up a molecule and the ways in which this arrangement affects the physical and chemical properties of the molecule. , and ultimately a three-dimensional structures, are represented in the International Chemical Identifier The IUPAC International Chemical Identifier (InChI) is a textual identifier for chemical substances, designed to provide a human-readable standard way to encode molecular information and to facilitate the search for such information in databases and on the web. (InChI[TM]). This project will influence chemical drawing and library management capabilities throughout the industry. Professor Scott Schaus at Boston University and Robin Smith, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of ArtusLabs, are jointly responsible for the inception and creation of this project. The research will be conducted at Boston University with collaborative input from ArtusLabs, Inc. "We're excited to bring our collective expertise together to expand an important open standard within the chemical industry," said Smith. This is expected to be the first of many collaborative efforts between ArtusLabs, Inc. and academic institutions. About ArtusLabs ArtusLabs is a technology company which is delivering scientific data management software. ArtusLabs was founded by the same proven team that formed Synthematix, the start-up that pioneered the Enterprise Electronic Lab Notebook An electronic lab notebook (also known as Electronic Laboratory Notebook, or ELN) is a software program designed to replace paper laboratory notebooks. Lab notebooks in general are used by scientists and technicians to document research, experiments and procedures performed in a marketplace Their flagship product is Ensemble for Life Sciences[TM]. Visit them at the upcoming BIO 2008 June 17-20, at booth #5018. For more information visit www.artuslabs.com. About Boston University, CMLD The Center for Chemical Methodology and Library Development at Boston University (CMLD-BU) is a center funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences The U.S. National Institute of General Medical Sciences is one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the principal biomedical research agency of the Federal Government. (NIGMS NIGMS National Institute of General Medical Sciences. ) focused on the discovery of new methodologies to produce novel chemical libraries of unprecedented complexity for biological screening. The center seeks to create novel chemical libraries that uniquely probe three-dimensional space by employing stereochemical and positional variation within the molecular framework as diversity elements for library design. |
