Life after a PhD By Dr Lauren Reid When I joined MedChemica in 2020, I had recently completed a PhD in computational chemistry, in which I had focused on molecular dynamics simulations. Joining a cheminformatics company was a chance for me to branch out into a different area of computational chemistry. I was excited to

MedChemica on the Move. Here it is The Motorworks in the centre of Macclesfields - only 5 minutes walk from the train station. We have been expanding for the last 2 years so need a bigger office. Our employees wanted a greener commute, so the centre of Macclesfield made sense. Everyone has an improved route

MCPairs v1.8 release is automatically available to all users: MCPairs version 1.8 went live last weekend. All Online users are upgraded to the new platform, and all new tools are available to everyone. There is a small change in look and feel (the "Pizza Wheels" have been revamped, for example) but just about everything is

With a successful vaccine roll out and boasters jabs in the UK, the first full in person conferences have been taking place again. In the last two weeks I have attended two; of course, the virus does know about conferences so I was still wearing a face mask, even though the restrictions have been lifted.

I guess I am blessed, I only live 7 miles from work. Back in the days of working for large pharma I was never satisfied with my carbon footprint. We used to have a bus service from Bollington [Cheshire, UK] and would take that each day for two years, but with just 14 or so

We know many biotechs and pharmaceutical companies work with Enamine to discovery small molecule drugs. They have played a key role in Covid Moonshot. Here are recent interviews, and news reports, from key scientists at Enamine in Ukraine, and the wider Moonshot team. Ukraine War Hobbles Covid-Pill Project in Lab Near Front Lines Based in

Dr Ed Griffen has given an interview to The Medicine Maker about the effect of the current conflict in Ukraine on the Covid Moonshot project. https://themedicinemaker.com/discovery-development/we-want-to-return-to-the-lab-how-the-russian-invasion-has-disrupted-drug-discovery-in-ukraine

Leading compounds meet the criteria: The COVID Moonshot announced last week a significant milestone in its journey towards an open-science COVID antiviral: We have identified compounds meeting our criteria for progression to preclinical evaluation! The story so far is captured in the updated biorxiv preprint: Mpro is validated but... Mpro is validated as a target

In the course of our work towards an automated Structure Activity Relation (SAR) analysis system that’s intuitive for medicinal chemists to use, we needed to depict R-Groups on our web interface in an aligned manner. We use #OpenEyeScientific chemistry toolkits for our production servers as the speed, quality, and reliability is high. The challenge is
