Well, its not quite the last minute but I have been working on putting slides together for the one talk I will be giving on Sunday at the ACS. Its called “Looking back at Mycobacterium tuberculosis mouse efficacy testing to move new drugs forward” and will be presented at 3.15pm in the Omni Dallas Hotel …

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 …

Working at the peripheries of science
Its Friday, the first full week back at work for 2014 and I am already pondering, (well mulling really) why I still do what I do. And the constant media attention for youth and success just needles me, especially for those in science. Yes I said goodbye to 30 a longtime ago, 40 a few …

Predicting Targets for TB Phenotypic Screening Hits and Openess of data and models
So far the only readily accessible, free approach to predicting TB targets is TB Mobile developed for iOS and Android with Alex Clark. While relatively crude the app does allow look up and similarity searching of 745 compounds with known targets so it may help propose possible targets for a new compound. Obviously there are …

A new year and a New start – leaving the Pistoia Alliance Board of Directors
I hope I can say 2014 is a New Start. Due to my increase in time contributed to working on rare diseases through Jonah’s Just Begun, the Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation and Hannah’s Hope Fund my “free time” has taken a bit of a squeeze. In addition when combined with the 3 NIH grants I am …

American Chemical Society 2013 Meeting – New Orleans
I am just back from the 2013 American Chemical Society in New Orleans at which I co-chaired 2 sessions in CINF. Lots of gumbo and jambalya were consumed. A very busy meeting, so much so that I barely left the rooms in which I was either talking or helping to chair. Lots of interesting discussions …

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 …

Using TB Mobile to Predict Potential Targets for TB hits from Phenotypic Screening
Sometimes there is a beautiful timing in how things arrive in the literature. For instance with my collaborative work for CDD I have been writing manuscripts on how we can use machine learning models to predict likely actives in whole cell phenotypic screens for M. tuberculosis. I have tested these models, retrospectively, prospectively, within the same lab, …
