As part of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI), the NFDI4Chem consortium has set itself the goal of facilitating the planning, collection, storage, processing, analysis and publication of research data. Read more (pg: 35-37): t.ly/-upiJ

CSD data and software update (May 2025) The latest CSD update, CSD 6.00, brings significant advancements, including a new data format that is extendable, faster to search, contains more data and is smaller to download. It includes 1,371,757 entries, with 45% organic and 55% metal-organic structures

⚛️ CAS SciFinder is the world’s most current and relied on source for chemical substance information. Inform your critical research activities with authoritative details on chemical substances and their related chemical structures, chemical names, regulatory information, and properties: t.ly/-upiJ

There are a few spots left: www.rscbmcs.org/events/aiche... This year’s meeting will build on 2024’s popular “Introduction to AI in Chemistry” workshop on Day 1, this time with an additional introduction to Python/Jupyter notebooks.

If you have recent publications you would like us to mention in the next issue (Winter 2025-26), please send bibliographic details to Helen Cooke ([email protected]), confirming that you are a member of CICAG. Please include a URL and/or information about to how to find the publications.

Under the guidance of Dr. Andrea Scarpino, The Institute of Cancer Research are seeking to recruit a Postdoctoral Training Fellow to join the In Silico Medicinal Chemistry group within the Division of Cancer Therapeutics. 📨 Apply here: jobs.icr.ac.uk/vacancies/13...

Over the past three decades, six thousand structures of the catalytic kinase domain have been made publicly available via the Protein Data Bank. But to what extent are we making use of this wealth of information?

"I mentioned data bias as a key issue; we currently have plenty of biased datasets, such as medical studies that have only been conducted on men, or specific ethnic groups. If we continue to feed these algorithms with biased data, then they will themselves become inherently more biased."

Nantwich Museum is delighted to have been awarded an Outreach grant from the Royal Society of Chemistry to develop a range of activities and events with a chemistry of colour theme. 🏆 Read the full piece here (pg:35): t.ly/-upiJ
