Researcher Leads Effort to Speed Up Drug Discovery
For chemists and other scientists who, like Stephan Schürer, Ph.D., are immersed in the early phases of new drug discovery, PubChem is a treasure trove. The largest public database of small molecule screening data accessible to anyone in the world contains thousands of experiments on hundreds of thousands of compounds with millions of values.

Suppression of TH17 Differentiation and Autoimmunity by a Synthetic…
T-helper cells that produce interleukin-17 (TH17 cells) are a recently identified CD4+ T-cell subset with characterized pathological roles in autoimmune diseases1,2,3. The nuclear receptors retinoic-acid-receptor-related orphan receptors α and γt (RORα and RORγt, respectively) have indispensable roles in the development of this cell type4,5,6,7. Here we present SR1001, a high-affinity synthetic ligand—the first in a new class of compound—that is specific to both RORα and RORγt and which inhibits TH17 cell differentiation and function.

Pegasus In Action
Researchers at the University of Miami are taking advantage of Pegasus, the Linux based supercomputer consisting of 5,000 (as of 2015: 6,024) central processing units (CPUs). The system is designed to perform complex computations in various areas of research. The Fall 2010 issue of The University of Miami Magazine featured “Pegasus Rising”. The article provides an inside look on how UM researchers are currently using this behemoth.

New Center for Computational Science to Boost Faculty Research
University of Miami faculty are getting a powerful new resource that will aid their scientific research efforts in a multitude of academic disciplines. The new Center for Computational Science at the University will focus initially on computational science research in five areas: physical science, biology and bioinformatics, chemistry, data mining, and visualization.
“Computation is an essential tool for state-of-the art scientific research,” says Executive Vice President and Provost Thomas J. LeBlanc. “We envision this center as a resource for the entire University research community, not only in terms of computing cycles but also, and equally important, the inclusion of research and support staff who can assist our faculty in translating their research problems into software that runs efficiently on high-speed computers.”
