Optibrium successfully demonstrated that its technology for automatically building predictive models of molecule properties can match 'hands-on' modelling approaches by generating the equal-best model in a competition organised by ICANN'09, ENNS and CADASTER. The entry by Olga Obrezanova, Principal Scientist at Optibrium, came out joint winner in a challenge to build a model that can predict the environmental toxicity of new molecules (see also Life Sciences).
Ed Champness, CSO of Optibrium, said "I'd like to congratulate Olga and the StarDrop team on an excellent result in a difficult challenge that attracted 80 international participants. This demonstrates ...
