Very happy to be a judge at the launch SW event - fantastic set of finalists making impact with groundbreaking innovation from university research that can genuinely improve the human condition. See you at the awards!
It's the final week to snag yourself a ticket to #LaunchGW '19. There's limited tickets remaining and we expect to sell out, so don't miss the boat: launchgw.com/tickets If you've already grabbed your #goldenticket, dust off your black tie & prepare for an evening to remember!

#D3R challenge using biosimspace in the cloud... very cool - fingers crossed..
Just submitted a bunch of free energy predictions for Cathepsin S as part of the @drugdesigndata #D3R challenge using @biosimspace and @cressetgroup tools and #oracle #cloud facilities. Curious to see what the results are!
