SimBioSys Blog

Happy New Year, welcome to 2008 and welcome to the SimBioSys Blog! I hope this blog will serve two main goals:

1. Act as a place where users and friends of SimBioSys can come to find out what we at SimBioSys are up to
2. [And I believe most importantly] I hope this blog is the start of more communication with those in the computational drug discovery / design field.

I will be posting my thoughts and ideas, things I find interesting and I hope you will make comments and we can have an open discussion.

I guess it would be a good idea to introduce myself, my name is Darryl Reid and I am an Application Scientist here at SimBioSys. I will very likely be doing most of the posting to this blog, however I have extended the offer for others within SimBioSys to put in their two cents as they see fit.

I also see this blog as one of my first steps into the chemistry / chemistry software blogging community. Therefore if you have a blog which you feel might be of interest to myself or other visitors to the SimBioSys Blog, please feel free to add a link in the comments section.

Obviously this blog is hosted on the SimBioSys website and will be influenced/biased by the experience and opinions of SimBioSys personnel.

However, it will be my intent to discuss things openly on this blog and, while comments will be monitored, allow for differing opinions. I just ask that people maintain a level of professionalism (please call me on it if you see me faltering on that myself).

In the coming weeks and months I will be posting some interesting notes on some special projects we are working on at SimBioSys and some potentially controversial opinions on molecular docking and the direction we (as a community) should be going. I hope you will stay tuned.

Once again, Happy New Year to everyone, I wish you all success in 2008.

Darryl
