Exploiting data for drug reprofiling

该项目旨在创建一个平台，通过该平台，合作伙伴能够向客户提供药物再分析或再利用领域的产品和服务。重组通常包括为现有药物分子寻找新的治疗应用，或者换句话说，搜索已知药物分子的数据库以寻找与感兴趣的查询结构高度相似的化合物。Cresset和Biolauncher将计算化学、大规模文本信息学和语义数据集成方面的技能结合在一起，创建了一个系统，使其能够在此类重新分析练习中向生命科学客户提供应用程序和服务。

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.
