Exploiting data for drug reprofiling

该项目旨在创建一个平台，通过该平台，合作伙伴能够在药物重新分析或重新利用领域向客户提供产品和服务。重新分析通常包括寻找现有药物分子的新治疗应用，或者换句话说，搜索已知药物分子的数据库以找到与感兴趣的查询结构高度相似的化合物。Cresset和Biolauncher汇集了计算化学、大规模文本信息学和语义数据集成方面的技能，创建了一个系统，能够为生命科学客户提供这种重新分析练习的应用程序和服务。

The project aims to create a platform through which the partners are able to offer products and services to customers in the area of drug re-profiling or re-purposing. Re-profiling generally consists of looking for a new therapeutic application for an existing drug molecule, or stated another way, searching databases of known drug molecules to find compounds which have high similarity to a query structure of interest. Cresset and Biolauncher bring together skills in computational chemistry, large-scale textual informatics and semantic data integration to create a system which enables the provision of applications and services in such re-profiling exercises to life sciences customers.
