Can you imagine? “glass house” turned inside-out systems - Twilight of Sovereignty simulations - Information Anxiety solutions - Knowledge-Value Revolution integrated value chain platforms with the power applications people with the problems unique value added to the enterprise multi-dimensional, parallel the next generation, not the next iteration Technology is the conceptual bridge linking the operating rules of science and the universe with those of economics.— Stan Davis, Future Perfect
How would you like? add unique value to your enterprise end-user solutions (authorship) enhanced products (publication) improved business (impact) imagination, innovation, renaissance reality data acquisition & delivery (commodity) information development (unique query) knowledge-value decision-making ("inform") example context specific to drug discovery at major pharma concept general to all sizes of organizations Future Shock is the dizzying disorientation brought on by the premature arrival of the future— A. Toffler
Common Challenges computer-based applications have been narrowly focused, often under-valued, rarely become part of the routine; vs. bioinformatics Information Anxiety mismatch between volume of data generated and dearth of understanding derived from it Knowledge-Value Revolution in post-industrial society, value is more subjective -- and unique value added is a matter unique to each consumer Nonlinearity means that the act of playing the game has a way of changing the rules.— James Gleick, Chaos
Eli Lilly and Company is a global research-based pharmaceutical corporation ... working to create and deliver superior health care solutions that provide customers worldwide with optimal clinical and economic outcomes. — http://www.lilly.com
Research isthe heart of the business,the soul of the enterprise.— Eli Lilly , 1947 value: competitive advantage classical values cheaper speed: geographic areas where can increase market/share faster quality: therapeutic areas where are or can become a leader better
Cost of developing new drug - $359M • Need peak worldwide sales of $1B • Delay in diminishing peak sales: • $31.69/second • $1,900/minute • $114,000/hour • $2,740,000/day Product Approvals Market Introduction Compound Synthesis Project Team First Human Global Registrations ~10,000 Compounds 1,000 3 8 1 Product Clinical Trials
The discovery is made with tears and sweat (at any rate, with a good deal of bad language) by people who are constantly getting the wrong answer. -- J. Bronowski
• TARGET IDENTIFICATION • ASSAYS / SCREENING - Biology / physiology - Precise - Pathophysiology - Specific - High Throughput - Automated •MOLECULAR DIVERSITY • OPTIMIZATION OF LEADS - Natural Products - Structure-Assisted - Proteins Drug Discovery - Corporate Libraries - Structure Activity - Combinatorial Libraries Optimization Drug Discovery What to look for How to look Where to look from M.F.Haslanger
Natural science does not simply describe and explain nature;it is a part of the interplay between nature and ourselves;it describes nature as exposed to our method of questioning.— Werner Heisenberg What If? "If...Then!" explore visual model XY123 What? Why? describe database explain rules
Much of the success of modern science and engineeringis based upon our ability to create an abstract mappingbetween motions of matter and symbols on paper.— Larry Smarr, NCSA Energy Surface Dynamic Molecules
Human intelligence thrives on context while computers work on abstract numbers alone.— A. Penzias, Ideas and Information
Computer Applications predominantly computational chemistry some computational engineering Computational Chemistry general molecular modeling computer graphics & data visualization Drug Design and Discovery transform molecular structure w/r molecular properties; empirical vs. virtual mathematical expressions of the laws of physics are used to model chemical entities and their transformations; more? It is a persistent mistake to define ‘science’ in termsof certain features of existing scientific theories.— John Searle
Structure-based drug design goals help generate novel ideas for new products help compress time for discovery and development being first is good enough: typically, Dt = 6 months Structure-based drug design results some published results some clinical trial candidates much current work is proprietary Structure-based drug design basics Combinatorial Chemistry, High Throughput Screens Genomics, Proteomics; Clinical Data; Patents Science is built up of facts, as a house is built of stones;but an accumulation of facts is no more a sciencethan a heap of stones is a house.— Henri Poincarè
Combinatorial Chemistry: application of process methodology to repetitive connection of different building blocks to yield a large array of diverse molecules. Limitations in molecular complexity. Rapidly expands compound libraries. Challenge is to maximize diversity. Increasing Molecular Diversity from M.F.Haslanger

Information Anxiety is the black hole between data and knowledge, [which] happens when information doesn’t tell us what we want or need to know —R.S.Wurman, Information Anxiety Information Anxiety
Science <==> Economics Technology is the conceptual bridge linking the operating rules of science and the universe with those of economics. — S. M. Davis, Future Perfect
Knowledge-Value • What is important for the • production of knowledge-value is • ... the knowledge, experience, and • sensitivity to be found among • those engaged in its creation. • — T.Sakaiya, Knowledge-Value Revolution
We are competing globally on a cognitive basis.... Our economy today is based upon what you know. — Dr. W. Leigh Tompson, 13 Apr 94 Economic Reality
Strategy • Scientific & Economic Innovation • Quality: Effective products & services • Speed: Efficient processes & systems • Value: Competitive advantage • Unique Value Added • Standardized Concepts in Customized Contexts • S.M. Davis, Future Perfect • Social Subjectivity; Small Venture Business • T. Sakaiya, The Knowledge-Value Revolution • Commitment: Persistence of Strategies • P. Ghemawat, Commitment
ADD UNIQUE VALUE change is resisted when apparently irrelevant or out of control
Add Unique Value to Compete inthe Knowledge-Value Revolution MASS CUSTOMIZATION: • standardize the concept • customize the context efficiency is a ratio; effectiveness is not. DO IT BETTER, DO IT DIFFERENTLY, OR STOP DOING IT.
Put the SCIENTIST into the SCIENCE. Enhance personal Creativity and group Communications. XY123 "What If?" "If...Then!"
Supercomputing admits the very large, the very detailed, the very urgent. –Boyd & Milosevich, Persp. in Drug Disc. & Des. 1 (1993) 345 High Performance (Proc’s)
High Performance (People) huh? aha! oh? yes! perception patterns logic language in-sight active info system knowledge hind-sight (20/20) passive info system data
SCIENCE • problem-solving method integrators • knowledge management systems APPLICATIONS • science & technology designers • information exchange systems COMPUTERS • numerics & graphics performance • data distributed computation “DO GOOD SCIENCE” problem-solving focus
Complexity + Contiguity future present past Scientists need to stay in touch with their science experiments and with current science.
Chemical Informatics • provide timely solutions to scientists' problems • enhance chemists' ability to use all available data • enable time compression in R&D efforts • differentiate & support unique capabilities • integrate and cooperate w/corporate infrastructure • organize for science function, not system vendor • educate and consult with scientists on capabilities • educate and consult with management on costs • evaluate evolving computer science & technology
Solutions to fit Problems It is amazing what you learn if you take the time to talk to someone. — M.Jackman, Star Teams - Key Players
Understanding the unique and fundamentally complex nature of the data, processes, and problems that characterize the domain New acquisition and integration, analysis and synthesis, or dissemination and use of data Technological and infrastructure approaches to supporting meaningful, long-term interdisciplinary collaborations specifically for chemical informatics research Next Steps
Integrating strategic technologies for the internet with a focus on quick impact usable and widely deployable networking applications that promote collaborative research and information sharing. Integrating strategic techniques for pervasive computing and distributed terascale facilities new algorithms, data structures, advanced system software, distributed access to very large data archives, sophisticated information mining and visualization techniques, and collaborative environments for data exploration and analysis Next Steps
Providing innovative educational activities at the undergraduate level by the transfer of research results into the undergraduate curriculum. Enhancing inter-disciplinary insights through collaboration among IT and science professionals in industry and academia. Increasing policy-makers' awareness of the return on investment in chemical informatics Next Steps
A Functional Organization: • is distinguished by computational science capability, not computer system vendors • gives scientists more responsive power (and more responsibility) on their desktops • focuses on solving scientists' problems in a constantly-changing environment • replaces Mainframe class homogeneity with Personal Computer style individual diversity
development depends not so much on finding optimal combinations for given resources and factors of production as on calling forth and enlisting for development purposes resources which are hidden, scattered or badly utilized The Strategy of Economic Development in A.O. Hirschman, Exit, Voice, and Loyalty Vertical thinking is digging the same hole deeper; lateral thinking is trying again elsewhere. E. deBono, New Think Nature has no outline; imagination has. Blake Making the Most of It
The system will always be defended by those countless people who have enough intellect to defend but not quite enough to innovate. ... Politically, change forced by a crisis is much more accpetable because it is obvious that something must be done - and surviving a crisis is achievement enough. — E. deBono, I Am Right - You Are Wrong Why Change?
