By integrating the simulation data of Trinity College's molecular design group with their traditional wet lab discovery data, Pipeline Pilot's components allow applications that include high throughput screening, docking and scoring optimisation, and generation of combinatorial libraries of compounds.
"Owing to the inherently fragmented nature of rational drug design software packages, it is very significant that Pipeline Pilot is becoming an essential discovery informatics tool.
"In-house developed protocols can now be saved and disseminated to other researchers within the molecular design group.

"This allows the same standardized protocols to be implemented by all our users on their own project datasets," said Darren Fayne, senior researcher, molecular design group, school of biochemistry and immunology, Trinity College Dublin.
"We found one of the most powerful and attractive features of Pipeline Pilot is the ability to offer a user-friendly platform to keep everything under control at any stage of the virtual drug discovery process," said Giorgio Carta , a pre-doctoral research student in the molecular design group.
"We are excited to be working with Trinity College, as its use of Pipeline Pilot highlights the benefits of a unified platform for data and tool integration," said Mathew Hahn, Accelrys's chief science and technology officer.
"Trinity College's choice of Pipeline Pilot acknowledges the growing success Pipeline Pilot is having in academic research efforts".
David Lloyd, head of Trinity's molecular design group concludes, "Over the period of just a few months, my research team in the molecular design group has been able to assimilate and productively employ Pipeline Pilot - it quite literally has become an indispensable tool for the group".
Pipeline Pilot is a new high-throughput data integration and mining system for drug discovery informatics.
With this package, a user may define and perform a complex series of operations on extremely large data sets in real time.
The result is unprecedented flexibility in processing the growing volume of data being generated in modern automated laboratories.
This methodology has established its utility by accelerating informatics research for thousands of users at hundreds of customer sites worldwide.
