Product news

Cresset, innovative provider of computational chemistry software and services, is pleased to announce that Selvita S.A., a drug discovery company located in Krakow, Poland, has licensed Cresset’s Forge and Spark . These applications provide extensive capabilities in SAR analysis, ligand-based molecular design and bioisosteric replacement.

Dr. Mariusz Milik, Head of Computational Chemistry at Selvita says “We are currently focused on target based design, however, as requirements of our projects change, we need to include ligand based approaches in the methods we use. We anticipate using Cresset’s software as a key component in our discovery chemistry capabilities”

“At Cresset we are delighted to see growth in the emerging drug discovery market of Central and Eastern Europe,” says Dr David Bardsley, Cresset’s Commercial Director. “Both Forge and Spark will enhance Selvita’s chemistry capabilities. The Spark reagent databases will enable them to inform synthetic decisions, whilst Forge will give control and insight into their activity data enabling them to plan the direction of their projects with confidence.”

Chem / BioinformaticsCheminformatics and bioinformatics are computational techniques used in chemistry and biology, respectively, for data acquisition, processing and storage. Cheminformatics focuses on compound information, whereas bioinformatics is mainly applied to analysis and modeling of genomics, genetic and sequencing information. Hardware and software is available for data acquisition, analysis, management and storage.Discovery SoftwareComputational techniques used in both the chemistry and biology aspects of drug discovery, for data acquisition, processing and storage. Software is used for analysis of pathways, target identification, genomics, proteomics, modelling, lead identification, compound analysis and drug modelling among many others. Development SoftwareComputational techniques used in both the chemistry and biology aspects of drug development, for data acquisition, data analysis, processing and storage. Software is used for analysis of ADME results, toxicology, clinical trials and regulatory processes. Software PlatformsSoftware platforms are useful for various stages of laboratory experiments from data collection to data storage and processing. For instance lab software is available for system control, data management, data analysis and qualification / validation.Drug DiscoveryDrug discovery is the process of identifying potential new medications, involving stages such as target identification, compound screening, and preclinical development. It relies on cutting-edge technologies like high-throughput screening, artificial intelligence, and molecular modeling to accelerate the identification of drug candidates. Drug discovery plays a pivotal role in developing new therapies for diseases ranging from cancer to rare genetic disorders.
