ArtusLabs Collaborates with Boston University to Create Three Dimensional Structures

DURHAM, N.C.--(Business Wire)--
ArtusLabs, Inc., a leading provider of life science software tools
and data management solutions, has entered into a partnership with
Boston University's Center for Chemical Methodology and Library
Development (CMLD) to develop a way to standardize and expand the way
in which stereochemistry, and ultimately a three-dimensional
structures, are represented in the International Chemical Identifier
(InChI(TM)).

This project will influence chemical drawing and library
management capabilities throughout the industry. Professor Scott
Schaus at Boston University and Robin Smith, CEO of ArtusLabs, are
jointly responsible for the inception and creation of this project.
The research will be conducted at Boston University with collaborative
input from ArtusLabs, Inc. "We're excited to bring our collective
expertise together to expand an important open standard within the
chemical industry," said Smith.

This is expected to be the first of many collaborative efforts
between ArtusLabs, Inc. and academic institutions.

About Boston University, CMLD

The Center for Chemical Methodology and Library Development at
Boston University (CMLD-BU) is a center funded by the National
Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) focused on the discovery
of new methodologies to produce novel chemical libraries of
unprecedented complexity for biological screening. The center seeks to
create novel chemical libraries that uniquely probe three-dimensional
space by employing stereochemical and positional variation within the
molecular framework as diversity elements for library design.
