In our September webinar, we'll explore how Particle Informatics is transforming the molecule-to-medicine journey by connecting crystallographic knowledge across traditionally separate scientific disciplines.

Drawing on recently published research, Andy Maloney (CCDC) and Gavin Reynolds (AstraZeneca), will describe the Manufacturing Classification System (MCS), and demonstrate how the MCS has been linked to the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD), creating a crystallographic data thread that can cover chemical synthesis, analytical science, and formulation development.

🙌Thank you to everyone who joined our hands-on workshop at International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) Conference, in Calgary, yesterday!

We explored advanced search techniques in ConQuest and WebCSD, as well as programmatic access through the CSD Python API.

We hope everyone found the session valuable and can apply these skills to their future research.
