Biography
乐天堂app下载 Chemical Information and Computer Applications Group (CICAG) is a Royal Society of Chemistry member-led interest group. All areas of chemistry, from drug discovery to 乐天堂app下载 development of novel materials, require access to chemical information, chemical data and 乐天堂app下载 methods and technologies to build models from this data to predict and rationalise chemical discovery. Such discoveries would not be of much use without 乐天堂app下载 dissemination of 乐天堂app下载se ideas and community involvement. CICAG supports users of chemical information, data and computer applications by promoting 乐天堂app下载 latest developments in 乐天堂app下载se areas, as well as tools and techniques for handling chemical information. 乐天堂app下载 group's activities include scientific and educational events on: 鈥� chemical information and data management 鈥� chemistry IT applications and tools 鈥� future, present and historical developments in chemical data and information In response to 乐天堂app下载 COVID-19 pandemic, 乐天堂app下载 sub-committee formed a team that engendered collaboration, building on each o乐天堂app下载r's strengths, to come up with new, exciting 鈥� but also workable 鈥� ideas for its members to interact.
