Cresset,
innovative provider of software and services for molecule designers has
launched a new service program that will enable scientists to outsource
computational chemistry work at a high value daily rate. With the introduction
of
CompChem
on Demand, Cresset's services division will now provide
computational chemistry services on a daily basis, without requiring a
long-term project commitment. The program allows customers to pre-pay for
flexible service days, in return for which they receive a discount on the daily
rate. Customers may then arrange to use the services as the need arises,
providing the flexibility often needed to accommodate critical requirements and
short turn-around times, whilst dealing with limited budgets and ever-evolving
projects.
Dr Martin Slater, Director
of Consulting, will head the program, bringing almost 15 years of experience in
the highly dynamic pharmaceutical ‘fee for service' environment to customers in
need of computational expertise. Dr Slater's team has a variety of skills
including library design (large and small libraries), lead optimization and SAR
analysis. The services provided will make use of commercially available Cresset
software where applicable, but will also benefit from Cresset's in-house
non-commercialized code and applications which can be used to solve unique
problems.
"Increasingly, the
financial reality of Drug Discovery projects demands that scientists be able to
minimize costs whilst simultaneously maximizing throughput and efficiency" said
Dr Robert Scoffin, CEO of Cresset. "Through utilizing our powerful and flexible
on-demand consulting service offerings, customers are able to match their
scientific needs much more closely to their financial situation."
Cresset is offering the
CompChem on Demand program at a low introductory rate until the end of the
year, although service days may be used at any time, up to a full year from the
date of purchase.
