CINF-IO Informatics Scholarship for Scientific Excellence.EMERYVILLE, Calif. & WASHINGTON -- IO Informatics, Inc. (www.io-informatics.com) and the Division of Chemical Information (CINF CINF Community Imagery Needs Forecast (US Federal government) CINF Conservation Survey Record Information ) of the American Chemical Society The American Chemical Society (ACS) is a learned society (professional association) based in the United States that supports scientific inquiry in the field of chemistry. Founded in 1876 at New York University, the ACS currently has over 160,000 members at all degree-levels and in (ACS (Asynchronous Communications Server) See network access server. ), announced today, at the 230th National Meeting of ACS in Washington, DC, the winners of the CINF-IO Informatics Scholarship for Scientific Excellence, designed to reward graduate students in chemical information and related sciences for scientific excellence and to foster their involvement in CINF. Winners were chosen based on content, presentation and relevance of abstracts submitted to the poster session A poster session is the juried presentation of research information by representatives of several research teams at a congress or conference with an academic or professional focus. These are particularly prominent at scientific conferences such as medical congresses. . Content reflected the students' own work, and described their research in cheminformatics and related sciences. Winning posters were marked "Winner of the CINF-IO Informatics Scholarship for Scientific Excellence" at the poster session. "We are delighted to reward studies which advance chemical information, and which requires integrated scientific and informatics understanding," said Patricia Rougeau, President & 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 IO Informatics. Jerome Hert, Kunal Aggarwal, and Ivan Tubert-Brohman were given scholarships valued at $1,000 each. Mr. Aggarwal is from the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Cornell University Cornell University, mainly at Ithaca, N.Y.; with land-grant, state, and private support; coeducational; chartered 1865, opened 1868. It was named for Ezra Cornell, who donated $500,000 and a tract of land. With the help of state senator Andrew D. ; his poster topic was "Framework for integrating transcriptomic and proteomic profiles in Escherichia coli Escherichia coli (ĕsh'ərĭk`ēə kō`lī), common bacterium that normally inhabits the intestinal tracts of humans and animals, but can cause infection in other parts of the body, especially the urinary tract. ." Mr. Hert is from the Krebs Institute for Biomolecular Research and the Department of Information Studies, University of Sheffield The University of Sheffield is a research university, located in Sheffield in South Yorkshire, England. Reputation Sheffield was the Sunday Times University of the Year in 2001 and has consistently appeared as their top 20 institutions. , and his topic was "Turbo Similarity Searching." Mr. Tubert-Brohman is from the Department of Chemistry at Yale University Yale University, at New Haven, Conn.; coeducational. Chartered as a collegiate school for men in 1701 largely as a result of the efforts of James Pierpont, it opened at Killingworth (now Clinton) in 1702, moved (1707) to Saybrook (now Old Saybrook), and in 1716 was , and his poster was titled "Mok-A Domain Specific Language for Molecular Information Processing." Additionally, the winners will receive an annual license, free-of-charge, of IO Informatics' Sentient sentient /sen·ti·ent/ (sen´she-ent) able to feel; sensitive. sen·tient adj. 1. Having sense perception; conscious. 2. Experiencing sensation or feeling. software for their academic institution. "The CINF Division would like to thank IO Informatics for their partnership in this program to reach out and recognize scholars, as it helps to support the mission of the CINF Division, which is aimed at providing opportunities for career development and the recognition of excellence," said Eileen Shanbrom, Chair of the Division. About IO Informatics IO Informatics is at the forefront of a global revolution in software methods that use intelligent agents to enable a multidimensional approach to data integration. These agents interconnect data and establish relationships among them to automate the knowledge-building process. IO tools integrate heterogeneous data sources (e.g. proprietary spreadsheets, Web files, images, and public and proprietary databases) to solve problems in fields where complex data are involved, such as medical, pharmaceutical R&D, and life sciences research. The company's Sentient(TM) software enables secure, unified use of disconnected, heterogeneous data and distributed information at a fraction of the cost and time previously required. Products using Sentient(TM) software allow researchers to build knowledge, whether using a single laptop computer or an enterprise-wide network, without the need for programming or changes to the enterprise IT infrastructure. IO Informatics is located in Emeryville, California. For more information, please visit the company web site at www.io-informatics.com. About CINF The Division of Chemical Information of the American Chemical Society is committed to providing leadership and an environment for the exchange of expertise among the producers and users of information in chemistry and related disciplines worldwide through high quality programs and through outreach, opportunities for career development, and recognition of excellence.
