December 2013 Newsletter

End of year message from CEO

2013 has been an exciting year for Cresset. From product releases to global events, including a recent trip to China. Dr. Robert Scoffin looks back over the year.

Can you put fields onto a protein?

This is the question we are asked most often, but to achieve this we need to handle formally charged groups. Dr. Mark Mackey, Cresset’s CSO, describes our approach.

Usability and scientific usefulness

We aim to achieve a good balance between the provision of powerful science and making that science readily accessible and easily understandable. Is this a difficult act to balance?

Identifying new indications for existing drugs

Profitable reprofiling opportunities are often created by the publication of new biological targets. Blaze makes rapid assessments of which drugs may be active against the new targets.
