Welwyn Garden City, UK (1st September 2011) –
Cresset is proud to host a tenth anniversary
European User Group Meeting this September 21st and 22nd at Downing College Cambridge. This event is held in conjunction with the
Molecular Graphics Modelling Society (MGMS) meeting in honour of Cresset’s founding scientist, Andy Vinter. MGMS will be held immediately prior to the Cresset User Group Meeting, also at Downing College.
The UGM features FREE training with Cresset software on Wednesday September 21
st. The training is provided in two tracks: one for Medicinal Chemists and one for Computational Chemists. Training laptops are provided, but spaces are limited, so Cresset encourages you to
register now to secure a spot. The formal portion of the meeting begins Thursday September 22
nd and the program includes great presentations from our customers and collaborators at
Monsanto,
Eli-Lilly, and
Isogenica, among others. Cresset is pleased to present the entire UGM, including training and meals, at no cost to attendees.
Cresset develops software for calculating and comparing the molecular Field characteristics of chemical compounds. Field technology uses the surface properties of molecules to evaluate their activities and properties, rather than relying on 2D structure similarity, which enables Cresset’s users to find more interesting, novel and relevant results than other methods. Cresset’s Fields provide a smarter, structure independent way of hit-finding, lead switching and lead optimization in drug discovery and other chemistry-based research projects. Cresset’s Field technologies have been successfully applied to a very wide range of target classes, with and without structural information, on over 100 projects for major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
