Cheminformatics workflows using the mobile + cloud platform. Presentation by Dr. Alex M. Clark of Molecular Materials Informatics at the NETTAB 2013 meeting in Venice, Italy. The presentation introduces the significance of mobile apps in science, and the scope of their capabilities in chemical structure informatics. The bulk of the talk describes an account of a preliminary workflow using open science data to search for viable leads for a cure for tuberculosis. The workflow described makes use of a combination of mobile, cloud and conventional desktop-based technology, all stitched together by facile communication, sharing and collaboration features.
