Abstract:
|
Six exploratory centers for cheminformatics research were established in 2005. These centers serve as precursors to full-scale cheminformatics research centers for the development of computational algorithms, software tools, theoretical insights, and data-rich resources applicable to chemical diversity and high-throughput screening. A major challenge issued in the NIH request for application was to create cross-disciplinary teams to bring new insight for addressing the difficult problems within cheminformatics. Statisticians have been taking a leading role and making major contributions toward this effort. This roundtable discusses advances, challenges, and frontiers in cheminformatics research. Folks from other areas who manage or are involved in similar cross-disciplinary efforts also are welcome.
