I have Antony Williams to thank because for a long time I have been wanting to summarize my thoughts on how I use social networking to spread the word about the science that I am involved in. Seeing Tony’s slides pushed me to do this! This follows visiting many groups of students (most recently at …

TB Mobile version 2.0
One minute it’s submitted to the AppStore, then its approved and available already. It is amazing how fast these things can happen! Yes you are wondering what is it, well its TB Mobile version 2.0 *. When the Idea appeared to develop the TB Mobile app in 2012 I had no idea that we would …

Interview for Scientific Computing World
A few weeks ago before the SLAS meeting I was invited to give a phone interview with Robert Roe at Scientific Computing World. I think he has accurately captured what I said and presented at the SLAS meeting. I would recommend reading the brief article. I really hope we can inspire others to create more …

Why are some companies slowly developing mobile apps ?
If you follow this blog, you will already know I have a bit of an interest in mobile apps for chemistry and science in general. This is through having ideas like Green Solvents, Open Drug Discovery Teams and TB Mobile (which are all free apps) and then getting a great developer like Alex Clark involved that knows the …

Cheminformatics workflows using mobile apps
To follow up yesterdays blog on the “Incorporating Green Chemistry Concepts into Mobile Chemistry Applications and Their Potential Uses” paper we now have a new paper in Chem-Bio Informatics Journal, called “Cheminformatics workflows using mobile apps” (with Alex Clark and Antony Williams). This is a Japanese peer reviewed journal and has its papers freely available – …

Follow up on 2012 rare disease goals and plans for more open science in 2013
Its been a very collaborative year. Last year I set out some goals for myself in 2012 on the rare disease front and I figured I should take stock. So here are the goals and what has happened. 1. Write grants to fund rare disease researchers to develop products. + Written an STTR for Phoenix Next (and …

Immediate justification for cloud-based cheminformatics apps
Last week I found myself in New Jersey participating in a discussion between TM Forum and Pistoia Alliance attendees about a topic of interest to many informatics scientists – how can we go from creating a mobile App store to a cloud-based life science R&D information ecosystem. While I am probably limited in what I can say my …

Collaborative Mobile Apps Using Social Media and Appifying Data For Drug Discovery
Along with my co-authors Alex Clark and Antony Williams we have just released a white paper and put it on FigShare and Slideshare. We would be interested in any feedback or suggestion..we have some new ideas brewing of how to use Open Drug Discovery Teams (ODDT) for a myriad of uses – so watch this …

Green Chemistry and Engineering Business Plan Competition – ODDT app
Many things are done out of order, yesterday proved that to me. perhaps one would normally have an idea – develop a business plan, develop product and then develop user guide..not us, lets scramble it a bit… Yesterday was an all out ODDT day (pronounced oddity)..First up there was the business plan. Last year I …

Alpha version of ODDT app now available for iPad- let us know if you want to test it
The Open Drug Discovery Teams (ODDT) project is a mobile app primarily intended as a research topic aggregator of open science data integrated from various sources on the internet. It exists to facilitate interdisciplinary teamwork and to relieve the user from data overload. Initial research topics include areas of chemistry and adjacent molecule-oriented biomedical sciences, …
